EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Greek ivory carving from the 7th century, depicting St Nicholas and the Virgin and Child. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this chromolitho reproduction is part of a private collection. The original artwork was featured as an illustration for "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere, published in Paris between 1848-1851. The intricate craftsmanship of this ancient ivory carving is truly remarkable. It beautifully portrays St Nicholas, known as the patron saint of children, sailors, and merchants, alongside the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. This religious scene reflects Christian values and signifies their importance during that era. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho add depth to the artwork's visual appeal. Its historical significance cannot be overlooked either; it provides insights into European history during the early Byzantine period when Greece played a prominent role. The delicacy of ivory as a medium further enhances its artistic value while emphasizing attention to detail. By preserving this masterpiece through photography, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate its beauty even centuries later. This print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural heritage—a window into our past that continues to inspire awe today.
