Jessica Chastain has been unveiled as the face of Gucci's latest Hortus Deliciarum jewellery campaign, conceived by creative director Alessandro Michele and shot by veteran photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, aka Mert and Marcus.

The Italian fashion house announced the collaboration on Instagram, posting 'Jessica Chastain, captured here wearing a necklace set with precious gemstones and a micro-mosaic cameo from the 1800s of the Temple of Hercules Cori. The Roman monument speaks to the Creative Director’s fascination with the ancient world and is an ode to specific historical and architectural eras suspended in time and space - a running theme in the new collection'.
