Comment by Nada Jung yesterday: Greek gold earrings with pearl beads, 3rd century BC

Comment by Carmen Elsa Irarragorri-Wyland on December 22, 2021 at 10:22pm: The time and effort of those gorgeous works of art have left forever, now everything is done in great hurry and a lot of speed!

The end results would never be the same, and the works really lack all that was placed in the work in those times in which everything took time.

Comment by Nada Jung on December 22, 2021 at 8:53pm: "The Nativity" (1516)

By French renaissance artist Guillaume de Marcillat (1470-1529)
Stained glass and sanguine
Detroit Institute of Arts, USA

Guillaume de Marcillat (ca. 1470–1529) was a French painter and stained glass artist.

This panel of the Nativity was made for the main choir chapel window in the cathedral of Cortona in Italy. The inscription below the scene QVE GEVIT ADORAVIT can be translated as “She worships him whom she bore.” The French immigrant Marcillat was responsible for the last great revival of monumental stained glass painting in Italy; Giorgio Vasari included Marcillat’s biography in his famous
The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (Italian: Le vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori )

Comment by Carmen Elsa Irarragorri-Wyland on November 22, 2021 at 5:15pm: WOW an angel on horseback, but what for?

The horse has no legs, and the angel could fly on her own...

What an interesting piece, plus so beautiful!
