Dish with Christ and two disciples 19th century

This 19th-century ceramic dish, "Dish with Christ and two disciples", was created by the famed French artist Bernard Palissy, known for his innovative use of enamel and intricate designs. The dish, featuring a raised, molded scene of Christ walking with two disciples, showcases Palissy's mastery of the "rustic ware" style. Its decorative border of stylized leaves, inspired by natural forms, emphasizes the theme of religious devotion. The piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a prime example of Renaissance-era art and its intricate craftsmanship.
