Swiss Gold and Enamel Brooch with Romantic Chateau de Chillon
About the Item
Swiss brooch, ca 1880. Oval enameled plaque in gold frame; rim comprises applied scrolls heightened with enamel and inset with pearls.The plaque depicts the Château de Chillon, a medieval castle set on an island in Lake Geneva, with Mont Blanc in the background. Chillon was a source of inspiration to the English Romantics, especially Lord Byron whose Prisoner of Chillon was inspired by its use as a prison during the 16th-century Wars of Religion. Byron’s evocation of tormented solitude is a world away from the lone woman in native dress purposefully strolling along in the foreground.
