SABINA SAVAGE The Celestial Steed Ribbon Scarf

The Celestial Steed was inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings and cultural events alongside beliefs and attitudes of the era; the dichotomy of idealism versus naturalism opening a portal to landscapes of fantasy, a ‘New World’. The armorial elements, such as the sabaton shoe and the gauntlet reference historical examples from the Renaissance. The metallic armorial elements are holding dainty, fragile flowers: a juxtaposition of strength and delicacy. Carnations symbolising devotion and divine love, daisies mirroring solar movements throughout day and night; the setting of the sun is inevitably followed by its rising, and there can be no more powerful symbol of hope and resurrection. They are surrounded by heraldic suns, the moon of Galileo Galilei, and the stars of Giotto.
