EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Medingen Minerva Cup, a stunning piece of art dating back to around 1650. Crafted from silver and vermeil, this remarkable cup stands tall at an impressive height of 79 cm. The intricate details and ornate design make it a true masterpiece. The cup features a lobed decoration with delicate floral motifs that add a touch of femininity to its baroque aesthetic. Its gilded surface glimmers with elegance, highlighting the craftsmanship involved in its creation. The stem is gracefully adorned with flowers, leading up to the goblet itself which is beautifully decorated. A decorative cover adds another layer of intricacy to this polylobed vessel. Atop the cover sits an elaborate finial depicting Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare. This symbolizes intellect and strength while adding a regal touch to the overall composition. The Assay Masters mark of Clauss II Sufssen can be seen on this exceptional piece, indicating its authenticity and quality craftsmanship during that period. Currently held in a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate every detail without commercial use or association. Bridgeman Images has captured this extraordinary artwork through eChristies Images for all art enthusiasts to admire and marvel at its beauty for years to come.
