#medieval art history

my final piece for the Light Grey Art Lab’s The End Is Night Exhibit.

“CHILDIRICI REGIS” is a visual exploration of Frankish King Childeric I’s burial treasure, which contained elaborate works of gold and garnet cloisonné jewelry. Most of this treasure no longer exists, save for two out of hundreds of cloisonné bees.

If you’d like to see the exhibition, it’s in-person in Light Grey Art Lab’s space in Minneapolis for a limited time OR view it on their website here. You can purchase individual prints (including this piece) or pre-order the book of the whole exhibition here
