"Enamel on Copper: A Captivating Journey through Time and Artistic Mastery" Step into the world of enamel on copper, a technique that has captured the imagination of artists for centuries. From the exquisite Pieta sculpture created by the Penicaud Workshop in Limoges during the early 16th century to George Washington's portrait painted by William Russell Birch in 1810-1820, this art form has left an indelible mark on history. Intricate details come alive as we admire George Stubbs' Lion and Lioness from 1770, showcasing his mastery in capturing the majestic beauty of these creatures. And let us not forget Brock Livingston Delaplaine's striking depiction from 1817, another masterpiece brought to life by Birch's skilled hand. The allure extends beyond portraits alone. William Essex's Portrait of Napoleon I transports us to a time when emperors reigned supreme, while an anonymous artist immortalizes Admiral Vasily Chichagov with remarkable precision in their c. 1815 portrait. But it is not only rulers who find themselves forever preserved within this medium; Empress Catherine I and Emperor Peter I also grace our presence through Charles Boit's brushstrokes in their respective portraits from 1717. Prince Frederick Josias of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld stands tall amidst this collection with his regal likeness captured expertly in 1848. Meanwhile, an enigmatic self-portrait after 1450 invites us to ponder upon its creator and their story. As we delve deeper into history, we encounter a dish depicting scenes from Michail Romanov's election as Tsar on March 14th, 1613 - a testament to how they are encapsulate significant moments for posterity. Finally, caressing our gaze is Francis II depicted as a young king-to-be by an unknown artist around1553 – reminding us of the enduring power of this art form.
