De Reuk c. 1525 - 1550

"De Reuk" is a bronze plaque made by German Renaissance artist Peter Flötner, circa 1525-1550. The plaque depicts a scene of a man and woman standing beneath a tree while a dog and a deer approach them. The low relief sculpture is notable for its detailed carving and the use of chiaroscuro. Flötner was known for his versatility as a sculptor, goldsmith, and printmaker and this work exemplifies his skill in bronze casting.
