Marine Scene 

This small bronze plaquette, created by the Italian Renaissance artist Caradosso Foppa, depicts a scene of maritime life. The plaquette, which measures just over 1.5 inches, shows a group of figures on a ship, including a man being led away in chains. The detailed relief work showcases Foppa's mastery of the bronze medium. This small but intricately crafted work provides a glimpse into the bustling maritime scenes that were a central part of life in 16th-century Italy.
