Plaque with the Raising of Lazarus 1500 - 1550

This Limoges enamel plaque by Jean Pénicaud I, depicting the Raising of Lazarus, was created sometime between 1500 and 1550. The scene, executed in champlevé enamel, shows Christ raising Lazarus from the dead in the presence of a crowd. The rich colors and detailed figures are characteristic of Pénicaud's work, a significant contributor to the Limoges enamel tradition. The plaque's small size, approximately 10 9/16 x 9 5/16 inches, suggests it was likely part of a larger devotional object.
