Description
This plaque is among the earliest examples of the technique of enamel on copper used during the Renaissance to depict secular scenes. Although it illustrates a passage from the ancient text of the Aeneid, the architecture and dress are more reflective of the courtly style popular in 16th-century France, when this work was made.- Nathaniel de Rothschild, Vienna. Alphonse de Rothschild, Vienna. (Rosenberg & Steibel, New York). Sydney J. Lamon, New York. (Blumka Gallery, New York).
