Bone Casket Plaque, Venice - Embriachi Workshop, 15th Century
Bone Casket Plaque, Venice - Embriachi Workshop, 15th Century.
Charming carved bone relief, Italian work from the 15th century, attributable to Venetian production around 1430, from the workshop of the Embriachi brothers, renowned for their caskets adorned with finely crafted plaques.
This delicate bone plaque depicts four figures arranged in a row, probably engaged in a processional scene. The composition, though understated, exudes a true narrative elegance, characteristic of these pieces intended for precious and intimate use. The treatment of the drapery is particularly noteworthy: the robes are rendered with beautifully vibrant vertical folds, conveying a keen sense of rhythm and volume despite the apparent simplicity of the design. This contrast between economy of means and sculptural effectiveness lends the piece a certain charm.
It is in excellent condition for this type of object. Time has left us with a beautiful and very appealing patina.
Height: 8.2 cm.
A refined example of Venetian craftsmanship in the art of woodcarving at the end of the Middle Ages.
Price excludes shipping.
Police Register Ref: A002.
