This 16th-century triptych by Jean Pénicaud I, titled *Triptych with The Way to Calvary, Crucifixion, and Descent from the Cross*, is a prime example of the artist's mastery of enamel on copper. The three panels depict scenes from the Passion of Christ: the procession to Calvary, the crucifixion, and the descent from the cross. Pénicaud’s meticulous detail and the use of rich colors to create a sense of depth and realism are evident in this work, which is a testament to the artistic innovations of the French Renaissance. The *Triptych with The Way to Calvary, Crucifixion, and Descent from the Cross* is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
