EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the tomb plaque of Geoffrey Plantagenet, dating back to the years 1151-55. Crafted with exquisite artistry, this enamel on gilt copper piece was created by the talented French School during the 12th century. Currently housed in the Musee de Tesse in Le Mans, France, it originates from the renowned Cathedral of St. Julien. Geoffrey Plantagenet, depicted in this artwork, held significant titles as Count of Anjou and Maine. He played a crucial role in history as he was also the father of Henry II of England. The plaque portrays him standing tall and proud, adorned in medieval armor and wielding an impressive sword. The attention to detail is evident through every element captured within this image - from his distinguished beard to his knightly attire. The decorative shield further enhances its ornate nature while adding a touch of elegance to this portrait. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work of art, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse into medieval history. It serves as a testament not only to Geoffrey Plantagenet's legacy but also to the immense skill and craftsmanship displayed by artists during that era.
