EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning plaque from the late 19th to early 20th century, depicting a cardinal indulging in the exquisite aroma of a white wine. Painted on ceramic by the talented Eduard von Grutzner and measuring 31x26 cm, this Berlin (K. P. M. ) rectangular plaque is adorned with delicate decorations by Bros. Heubach and signed L. Schinzel after Ed Grutzner. The image captures the essence of luxury and spirituality as the cardinal, dressed in his ecclesiastical attire, delicately holds a Venetian glass filled with white wine. With an expression of pure pleasure on his face, he takes delight in sampling the bouquet of this fine beverage. Surrounded by grapes and fruit symbolizing abundance and wealth, this scene exudes opulence and indulgence. The presence of a book suggests that even within his enjoyment, the cardinal remains connected to his religious duties. The intricate details portrayed on this plaque showcase not only artistic mastery but also evoke senses beyond sight – inviting us to imagine the tantalizing scent emanating from that glass of wine. This remarkable piece combines elements of religion, luxury, and natural history into one harmonious composition. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and our desire for sensory pleasures throughout history. Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate its beauty while reflecting on themes such as spirituality, pleasure-seeking, and cultural heritage associated with Catholicism in Europe during that time period.
