EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Armilla of Andrei Bogolyubsky, a remarkable piece of West European Applied Art dating back to approximately 1170. Currently housed in the esteemed collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, this armlet holds immense historical significance for Germany, Ukraine, and Russia. The intricate craftsmanship displayed on this armilla is a testament to the skill and creativity of its creator. Made from copper and adorned with gilding, it exudes an air of elegance that befits its medieval origins. Its design draws inspiration from Slavic culture and reflects the rich history of Kievan Rus. Andrei Bogolyubsky himself was a prominent figure in Russian history as part of the Rurik Dynasty. As one of Vladimir's rulers during early Rus, he played a crucial role in shaping Russian politics and society. The Armilla serves not only as a stunning work of art but also carries symbolic meaning rooted in religious beliefs. It is believed to have been inspired by biblical references, adding another layer to its historical significance. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the beauty and cultural importance embodied within this exquisite piece. It stands as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers us glimpses into an era long past – an invaluable treasure for enthusiasts interested in medieval art or anyone seeking insight into Russia's fascinating history.
