EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a large oval dish, meticulously moulded in relief with an array of enchanting creatures and aquatic life. Crafted from earthenware by the renowned artist Palissy, Bernard (1509-90) or his school, this masterpiece is housed at the Musee National de la Renaissance in Ecouen, France. The dish's surface comes alive with a mesmerizing scene featuring a graceful grass snake slithering amidst batrachians (amphibians) and fish. The intricate details of each creature are brought to life through the artful craftsmanship of Palissy or his skilled disciples. As we delve deeper into this composition, we encounter lush foliage and vegetation that further enhances its naturalistic charm. Delicate lizards can be seen perched on branches while shells rest peacefully near the water's edge. The ceramic medium used for this creation adds depth and texture to every element portrayed. This remarkable piece belongs to the rustic fig type dishes that were popular during the Renaissance period. Its timeless beauty transcends time and continues to captivate viewers today. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a world where nature intertwines effortlessly with artistry. It serves as a testament to Palissy's mastery in capturing both realism and imagination within his creations.
