Enameler Master K.I.P. French
 Composition after a medal by Valerio Belli (Il Vicentino)

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

A number of midcentury Limoges enamel painters were exquisite copyists. Some drew directly on Italian precedents, as in this case: a bronze medal by Valerio Belli (ca. 1468–1546) provided the source for the scene.
