EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable book cover that is an exquisite example of Byzantine art. The intricate design depicts the Crucifixion, rendered in ivory and dating back to 1000 AD. Originally crafted in Constantinople, this masterpiece eventually found its way to Jaca, Spain. The craftsmanship of this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Made from silver gilt with pseudo filigree detailing, it features delicate glass and crystal accents along with sapphire cabochons. Supported by wood, the overall dimensions measure approximately 10 3/8 x 8 5/8 x 1 inch (26.4 x 21.9 x 2.5 cm). Ivories like this were highly prized during the Middle Ages and often found their place in church treasuries across Western Europe. Many of them were incorporated into deluxe book bindings or used as standalone panels for religious icons. Originally forming part of a three-paneled icon, this particular artwork was positioned on the left side when intact. Despite its fragmented state today, it still emanates a sense of divine beauty and spiritual significance. The Liszt Collection's print captures every intricate detail of this rare artifact – a testament to human creativity and devotion spanning centuries. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass, great works of art continue to inspire and captivate us with their enduring allure.
