Jewels of the Middle Ages: Piety, Power and Sensuality
Фильм және анимация
For nearly a thousand years, the Middle Ages dominated the history of the arts with its soaring cathedrals.
However, the jewel, as small and fragile as it may be, is omnipresent in medieval society. Like the pearl, both a symbol of piety and sensuality, jewelry shows the complexity of a society long defined uniquely by its religious character. From heraldic symbols to small portable reliquaries, from wedding rings to princely ornaments, jewelry speaks a varied and subtle language which we propose to decipher together.
This conference was broadcast live from the Morgan Library in New York for the French session and from the Villa Albertine headquarters for the English sessions.

If I'm not mistaken, a turtledove badge was found recently in Poland during a renovation of an old medieval site from the 15th century which it too had the inscription "Love conquers all" (in Latin of course) on it.
I love these videos you are making! I’ve learned so much!! Thank you!
Whoa, that was a three minute intro
Wonderful presentation. Thank you so much for the shared knowdlege and this highly enjoyable compound of art, history and craftsmanship!
Some great history
The 4 minute intro that repeats 70% of itself almost made me give up.
Did royal crown made of other metals not just gold and silver?
Napoleon was the first to steal the Ghent Altarpiece. He had it in his possession until 1815. Napoleon had his Jeweller copy the tiara worn by the figure of Christ in the Altarpiece and presented this replica to Pope Pius in 1805.
So much misinformation in this video

All they did was pillage from the Indigenous people. It's actually quite repulsive how they praise them in this video.
