Master of the Triptych of Louis XII

early 16th century · Painted enamel, copper · Medieval Art

These three plaques were reframed as a triptych in nineteenth-century Paris, but they probably do belong together, because all three display the characteristic figure style of the same workshop. The two wings indicate some acquaintance with Italian Renaissance architecture.
