EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Plaque of St. Jude, a remarkable German artifact from the 12th century. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece is a testament to the rich heritage of medieval Christianity. The plaque depicts St. Jude, also known as Judas Thaddeus or Jude the Apostle, standing with his bare feet on display. The use of champlevé enamel technique adds vibrant colors to the artwork, particularly highlighting shades of blue and copper gilt accents. With its intricate capital lettering and decorative details, this bassetaille plaque captures the essence of religious devotion during that era. It serves as a visual reminder of faith and spirituality in medieval Germany. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this historical treasure offers viewers an up-close encounter with one man's interpretation of St. Jude's image. Though we may not know who created it or where exactly it originated from within Germany, its significance remains undeniable. As we admire this portrait today, let us reflect on the enduring power and influence religion has had throughout history. This plaque reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to bridge gaps between cultures and connect people through shared beliefs and values.
