Footed Dish with Moses Destroying the Tables of Law, Jean de Court

The composition on the interior of this footed dish was derived from bernard salomon's woodcuts for claude paradin's quadrins historique de la bible (lyons, 1553), a popular source for biblical compositions. The cover is missing. The monogram at the right edge identifies this as the work of the enamellist jean de court, about whom little is known outside of his enamels. Date: between circa 1555 and circa 1585 (Renaissance). Place of creation: Limoges, France. Dimensions: height: 10.4 cm (4 in); diameter: 25.5 cm (10 in). Medium: painted enamel and gilded copper. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Jean de Court - Footed Dish with Moses Destroying the Tables of Law - Walters 44199
