EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Monumental Brass Rubbing depicts the Quatremayn family, consisting of Thomas Quatremayn (Quarterman), his wife, and their son Thomas, along with Thomas's widow, Thame. The intricately detailed engraving dates back to the late 1390s and was discovered in Thame, Oxfordshire, England. The Quatremayns were a prominent family during the medieval period, and this brass rubbing serves as a poignant reminder of their lives and legacy. Thomas Quatremayn is depicted in the center, wearing a long tunic and a mantle draped over his shoulders. His wife, dressed in a flowing gown, stands to his right, her hands folded in prayer. Their young son Thomas, dressed similarly to his father, stands to his left, holding a small staff. The figure of Thomas's widow, Thame, is shown on the bottom left, wearing a widow's headdress and holding a rosary. Monumental brass rubbings were a common form of commemoration during the medieval period, with families and individuals commissioning intricately designed brass plaques to be placed on graves or in churches as a memorial to the deceased. This particular rubbing, with its stunning detail and beautiful design, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic abilities of the artisans of the time. The Quatremayn family brass rubbing is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the lives of a prominent medieval family and the artistic traditions of the time. It is a fascinating reminder of the past and a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
