Conversion St. Paul 1571 - 1635

"Conversion of St. Paul" is an enamel-on-copper dish by Suzanne de Court, dating from 1571-1635, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The scene depicts the conversion of St. Paul as he rides his horse, surrounded by angels and bathed in a celestial glow. The dish is adorned with a border of cherubs and other figures, exemplifying the exquisite craftsmanship of Limoges enamel work. The vibrant colors and intricate detail make this a notable example of 16th-century French enamel art.
