Italian Renaissance works in precious metals and enamel, (1898). Creator: Unknown
Italian Renaissance works in precious metals and enamel, (1898). Fig 1: Crowning of a little altar in the Galerie d Apollon of the Louvre at Paris. Fig 2: From a vase of lapis lazuli in the Galleria degli Uffizi at Florence. Fig 3: Cover of a crystal cup in enamelled gold, ibid. Figs 4 and 5: Pendants by Benvenuto Cellini. Figs 6-8: Pendants by an unknown master. Figs 9 and 10: Handles on vessels in the Galerie d Apollon of the Louvre at Paris. Figs 11 and 12: Masks on a shield, ibid. Figs 13 and 14: Foot and upper portion of a water-jug, ibid. Figs 15-19: Borders on vessels in the same collection. (All Italian work apart from Figs 6-8 which are French). The works in precious metals comprise two kinds: on the one side those objects, which, being made of precious metals, were still decorated in a particular manner with precious stones, pearls and enamel (for instance jewelry); on the other those by which any rare mineral, such as lapis lazuli, onyx, etc. or a beautifully formed glass were made into a vessel or utensil of luxury, by the application of a handle, foot, cover etc. For both kinds, Benvenuto Cellini was the leading master about the middle of the 16th century. Plate 58 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
