Kacheltegel van aardewerk met loodglazuur c. 1500

This 16th-century earthenware tile, glazed in lead, is a striking example of early Dutch ceramic art. The tile depicts a mounted knight in a decorative, Gothic-inspired archway, highlighting the influence of architectural styles on decorative art of the period. The vibrant green glaze, typical of the time, creates a visually captivating surface and underscores the tile's intended use as a decorative element. The anonymous artist skillfully captures the dynamism of the knight and horse in the detailed relief, showcasing a level of artistry often found in larger works of art.
