Casket with scenes of Genesis 1600 - 1625

"Casket with scenes of Genesis" is a Limoges enamel casket created by Suzanne de Court between 1600 and 1625. The casket features scenes from the Book of Genesis, including the creation of Adam and Eve, the expulsion from Eden, and the sacrifice of Isaac. De Court was one of the most prominent Limoges enamel artists of her time, and this casket is a prime example of her work. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the enamel are characteristic of the Limoges style, which was highly influential in the 16th and 17th centuries. The casket is a testament to de Court's mastery of enamel painting and her ability to capture the essence of biblical narratives. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
