Scenes from the Life of Joseph

Pierre Reymond · 1554-01-01T00:00:00Z

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.
