Limoges plate; France, 13th century. "Angel". Enamel on copper. Both the polychromy and the enamel are missing. Measurements: 7.6 x 13.5 cm (irregular). Trapezoid-shaped plaque, with an iconographic representation of an angel, in copper with gilt polychromy and champlevé enamel. The angel depicted here could belong to the army or Hypophany , the watchers of the world, who act as imitators of God by representing the beginning of everything. They vary in their attire, but in general their representation is very similar to that of ordinary angels. Limoges enamelling has a long tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, in particular to the last painting of the 12th century. It will be the most important enamel workshop in France, and owes its success especially to its production of enamel-decorated objects in addition to the usual enamelled plates. Its medieval and Renaissance pieces had their own characteristics, such as a very shallow background dragging or a very fine partitioning for details, as well as an innovative chromatism that included new tones such as light blue-grey or white.
