EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mourner from the Tomb of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Crafted in alabaster by Claus de Werve between 1404 and 1410, this exquisite sculpture measures 41.7x16.6x11.7 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The figure depicted here is a female mourner draped in intricate drapery, symbolizing grief and mourning. She holds a rosary made up of symbolic beads, adding depth to the overall composition. This medieval masterpiece pays homage to Philip the Bold (1342-1404), who was not only Duke of Burgundy but also Count of Flanders, Artois, and Burgundy through marriage. The artist skillfully captures both the sorrowful expression on the woman's face and her elegant posture as she mourns for Philip IV. The Gothic style prevalent during that era shines through every detail of this sculpture. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, this artwork transports viewers back to a time when grief was expressed through art forms like sculptures rather than words alone. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience across centuries. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this significant piece from Fine Art Finder without any commercial intentions or usage mentioned in order to appreciate its historical significance fully
