Panel of tiles 1544 - 1556

This tile, made by Masséot Abaquesne between 1544 and 1556, features a vibrant, stylized floral design. The intricate patterns, executed in rich colors of blue, green, yellow, and brown, are characteristic of the Renaissance style. The tile, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, provides a glimpse into the decorative arts of 16th-century France. Its delicate detailing and vibrant hues would have contributed to the overall ambiance of a room, adding a touch of elegance and refinement.
