- история:
- The relics of the sixth-century Spanish St Aemilian were housed in an ornate shrine crafted of ivory, gold, and gems.
We are remarkably well informed about the reliquary, which was made on the occasion of the translation (or transport) of the saint's relics from the monastery of Suso to the church of San Millan de la Cogolla, dedicated in 1067.
Although the reliquary was damaged during the Napoleonic invasion of Spain in 1809, we know from a 1601 description that The Cloisters' plaque decorated the roof of the shrine.
On it we see the saint tending his sheep in the bottom register, while above he receives a blessing from the hand of God at the top of a mountain.
In addition to this plague, several other ivories from the shrine survive in European and American collections.
One, in the State Hermitage Museum, Saint-Petersburg, depicts the ivory carver and his assistant in the workshop and bears an inscription that identifies them as Master Engelram and his son Redolfo.
Such images of artists were rare in this period, as was the practice of identifying artists by name.Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings
