EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Order of the Golden Fleece: the Austrian Golden Fleece - Badge, which once belonged to the Grand Ducal House of Tuscany. Crafted in the middle of the 19th century, this prestigious honorary decoration is a true masterpiece. Made from gold and silver, adorned with sapphires, rubies, and enamels, it radiates opulence and grandeur. The badge measures an impressive 13.7 cm in height and 7 cm in width, weighing a substantial 150 grams. What sets this particular piece apart is its unique engraving on the support ring of the remains. Instead of being inscribed on the lighter as tradition dictates, here we find a summarily engraved motto: "Praetium laborum non vile" meaning "The reward for labor is not worthless". Housed within a private collection by an anonymous collector, this remarkable artifact offers us a glimpse into Austria's rich history and royal heritage. The intricate craftsmanship displayed in every detail reflects both skillful artistry and immense wealth. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this stunning piece through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close. As we admire this symbol of honor and nobility from centuries past, we are reminded of Austria's enduring legacy within Europe's cultural landscape.
