Renaissance: a Golden Age of Jewelry
For the exhibition "Gold and Sparkle: Jewelry in the Renaissance" at the Fondation Bemberg in Toulouse, Julie Rohou, Heritage Curator and Exhibition Curator, and Marie-Laure Cassius-Duranton, Lecturer-Researcher at L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, invite visitors to discover jewels steeped in meaning, fusing the personal and pomp, self-expression and reflections of the society in which they were produced.
From the 1500s to the first decades of the 17th century, the history of European ornamentation enjoyed a true golden age. Never before had jewelry, the most personal of objects in the domain of the decorative arts, been worn in such abundance by both men and women and never had sovereigns and their courts sparkled with such splendor.
Combining great technical skill and infinite imagination, rings, pendants, bracelets, and belts became the embodiment of a Renaissance that was worn on one’s person, influenced by antiquity and references to the great masters of the Renaissance.
