EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent large oval dish, meticulously crafted by the renowned artist Palissy, Bernard. The earthenware masterpiece measures an impressive 55x40 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre-Lens museum in France. The dish is adorned with intricate relief work depicting a mesmerizing array of reptiles and fish. As you gaze at the image, your eyes are immediately drawn to the exquisite details of each creature: sharp claws, sinuous snakes, graceful lizards, and majestic lobsters. They seem to come alive on the surface of the platter. The composition also includes various elements from their natural habitat - delicate shells scattered amidst seaweed and basin-like formations. These carefully sculpted additions add depth and realism to this Renaissance-era artwork. Palissy's mastery shines through as he expertly captures every scale, fin, and texture with remarkable precision. The play between light and shadow further enhances the lifelike quality of these creatures frozen in time. As you admire this stunning piece captured by Bridgeman Images, it becomes evident that Palissy's passion for wildlife has been immortalized through his artistry. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only his technical skill but also his deep connection with nature.
