The Annunciation

Nardon Pénicaud · 1510-05-20T00:00:00Z

Pénicaud’s name and the date 1503, once (but no longer) visible on an enameled Crucifixion in the Musée National du Moyen Age, Paris, have served to document the enameler’s style. The figure of the archangel Gabriel on the left plaque was probably based on an engraving by Martin Schongauer (ca. 1430–1491), but the facial style and gravity of expression are Pénicaud’s.
