Plaque with the Crucifixion

16th century

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

The Orléans Triptych, an Annunciation scene with wings depicting King David and Isaac, is in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Orléans, France. Another triptych is in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore. The enamels attributed to the master or to his workshop sometimes display figures with delicately drawn faces side by side with more mannered representations, bordering on caricature.
