EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the "Cup and Cover" or "Akeleypokal" created by Paulus Fischer in Germany around 1640. Made from silver and parcel-gilt, this stunning piece stands at an impressive height of 44.5cm. The intricate details of this German masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The cup's surface is adorned with delicate engravings, showcasing a harmonious blend of German artistry and European influences. The parcel-gilt technique adds a touch of opulence to the overall design, with areas selectively gilded in gold. Displayed proudly at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA, this remarkable work exemplifies the rich cultural heritage that spans across Europe. Its presence serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where skilled craftsmen like Fischer dedicated their lives to creating objects that were not only functional but also works of art. This image captures every curve and contour, allowing us to appreciate the fine metalwork up close. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can marvel at this exceptional example of German silversmithing without any commercial connotations distracting from its beauty. It reminds us that art has no borders – it unites people across nations and continents through shared appreciation for human creativity throughout history.
