Getting started with the collection:
Vase with the story of Diana and Actaeon
Pierre Raymond (c. 1513–after 1584), Limoges, c. 1550, enamel on copper
Working in white on a black ground, Pierre Raymond introduced subtle tonal nuances in his monochromatic depictions. The flesh tone of the figures is emphasized through the introduction of a bit of red. Unfolding around the vase is the story of the goddess Diana, who turned the hunter Actaeon into a stag for spying on her while she was bathing.
