Drinking Cup (Bernegal) c. 1620

"Drinking Cup (Bernegal)" is a 17th-century silver cup crafted by Miguel de Urbiola, a Spanish silversmith who lived only a short life, from 1619 to 1625. The cup, made of silver and gilt, features a scalloped bowl, intricate floral motifs, and a delicately crafted stem. The cup is now a part of The Art Institute of Chicago's permanent collection, showcasing the artistry of Spanish silversmithing during the Baroque period. It is a testament to the skill and elegance of de Urbiola's brief but impactful career.
