This piece really
spoke to me because while learning about the renaissance I all noticed the
textures in the treasures and valuable items. I really enjoyed the ornate hand
made treasures crafted by the churches.
If you look closely at the crown you can see the gold plates
are actually sculpted into the sides of it. Every jewel is set into the crown
and still to this day the crown is in perfect condition. It amazes me how well
this was crafted.
Looking at the detail in the platter really tied it this piece
into my gallery. The faces molded into this item was slightly creepy at first,
but it out of anything shows how much craftsmanship when into this 513,000
dollar platter of gold.
The reason I choose this piece was honestly because it
reminded me of the holy hand grenade from the Monty Python movie. The reason it
ties into my gallery is, once again, because the texture and pattern made from
the jewels.
When you look at the pommel, hilt, and guard of the sword
closely you can see all of the textures and colors of the elaborate pattern surrounding
it entirely.
All round this black nights suit of armor there is an entire
scene of events happening. If you look close there is really a story written in
all of the textures of this armor.
At first I wasn’t going to include this piece into my
gallery of textured items, until I zoomed in then noticed all of the script in
between each of the boards making up the ship. I’ve been a collector of ship
paintings and sculpture for along time. One day I wish to add this piece to my
collection.
This piece is so ornate, at first I didn’t even notice it
was a clock. Once I zoomed in to appreciate this piece I realized it was a
clock as well as in every single window of this building there is a unique
face.
I was admiring this piece and nearly didn’t include it in my
gallery. That’s when I wondered what the clouded bottom was so I looked closely
and realized it was actually an entire battle scene in the clouded crystal.
I included this because the carving in the side of the lamp
must have taken so long to carve considering its made of gold and some sort of
hard red crystal. The mystery behind it also caught my eye. When looking at the
description I realized there was none given so I looked it up on Google and
could not find anything about it or the artist. The name is Vessel but what was
it a vessel for? This item called “Vessel” could have been used for anything…
This is my last and favorite piece of the gallery because im a huge fan of space. This is one of the best sculptures of the moon ive ever seen. The texture of it and color really makes this look realistic.
