Master of the Aeneid (fl. ca. 1530-1540)
Aeneas and the Sybil in the Underworld, Limoges Enamel. Copper enamelled in translucent greyish-blue, dark blue, green, mulberry-brown and clear appearing tan, and in semi-translucent pinkish-red, and opaque white and profusely gilded. There is a white preparation under the areas enamelled in greyish-blue, white and pale red. The drawing appears black on the copper or the white preparation. The translucent colours are applied directly over the copper (clearly visible where there is loss of enamel on the edge and elsewhere under magnification). Water is represented by a thin wash of translucent greyish-blue over white with black lines to represent waves. The reverse has translucent counter-enamel, tinged here and there with green., height 22.4cm, width 20cm, circa 1530.
