Scenes from the Life of Joseph

Pierre Reymond
After woodcuts by Bernard Salomon French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

Not long before 1540, Limoges enamelers adopted a predominately black-and-white (grisaille) palette, perhaps in part because
of their greater reliance on prints for their models. The scenes on the foot and cover were adapted from woodcuts by Bernard Salomon (ca. 1508–ca.1561) for two volumes of verse by Claude Paradin.
