EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art, the "Plaque" created by Nardon Penicaud in 1503 and later reproduced as a print in 1931. The original artwork, made with enamel paint on copper, can be found at the Musee de Cluny. The plaque depicts a profound scene from Christianity's history - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In this intricate composition, we see the wounded body of Christ nailed to the cross, surrounded by symbols of faith and devotion. A chalice representing his blood stands beneath him while an angel hovers above with hands clasped in prayer. Nardon Penicaud skillfully captures every detail with vibrant colors and delicate brushwork. The artist's use of enamel paint on copper adds depth and luminosity to this medieval masterpiece. The female figure kneeling before Christ is believed to be Virgin Mary or Madonna, her halo shining brightly as she mourns her son's sacrifice. The plaque also features elements of heraldry and coat of arms that further enhance its historical significance. Through this powerful image, Penicaud invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as faith, sacrifice, and redemption. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of its creator and the enduring impact of religious iconography throughout history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact from the 16th century French art scene, we are reminded once again of humanity's eternal fascination with spirituality and our collective desire for transcendence beyond earthly realms.
