"Venus And Cupid Enamel On Copper Plate, France 19th Century"

Venus and Cupid enamel on copper plate, France 19th century
This enamel plaque, referable to Limoges productions of the mid 19th century, represents a typical example of a neo-Renaissance theme with classical and mythological subjects (Venus and Cupid) and the use of traditional techniques (enamel ‘en grisaille’, black background with gilded details, star decoration). The two figures celebrate beauty and love, with the symbolic element of the mirror, interpreted as vanity or as awareness of one's own divine loveliness. The plaque is set in a 20th century gilded frame with an external measurement of 20 cm.
