Wall plate by the Danish designer Bjørn Wiinblad for Rosenthal made of metal wall mounted sheet lacquered in black and gilt with glass faceted frosted Art Glass.Limited edition from 1987 from the series 'Gleichnis im Glas' Title of the wall plate is 'The Biblical Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins. Biblical themes have down the ages inspired the work of great artists in numerous different ways- from true-to-detail narrative through to imaginative, personal inter- pretation. Although the outward manner of representation may change according to conventional taste, the message always remains the same. In his study of the New Testament, the Danish artist Bjorn Wiinblad found his inspiration in the parables of the four gospels. Parables are fictitious, vividly narrated stories from which a moral can be drawn, easily understandable symbols re- presenting for the unchangeable ethical values of human life and Christian teaching the human qualities of love, forgiveness, forbearance, hope, faith and charity. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
