EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Tankard with scenes from the life of the Prophet Elijah. Crafted in silver and silver gilt by the Polish School in the 17th century, this ornate container stands at an impressive height of 18.1 cm. Currently housed in the Czartoryski Museum in Cracow, Poland, this masterpiece is a true testament to Polish artistry. The tankard's decoration features intricate relief work depicting various episodes from the life of Prophet Elijah. From angelic figures adorning its sides to a beautifully crafted handle resembling an angel's wings, every detail exudes elegance and craftsmanship. One scene depicted on this remarkable vessel portrays Prophet Elijah peacefully sleeping amidst a desert landscape. The lid of the tankard reveals another heavenly image as angels gracefully hover above him while he rests. This print captures not only the exquisite beauty of this historic artifact but also highlights its significance within religious iconography. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and culture, evoking emotions and inspiring awe even centuries after its creation. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every intricate detail, allowing viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill behind this tankard and its historical importance within Polish heritage.
