Source Description
This plaque would have been made for a series illustrating the virtues, of which Love or Charity was considered one of the most important. In the dramatic and vigorous modeling and the forced posturing of the figures, this work by Jean II Pénicaud reveals the mannered style of the Franco-Italian school associated with the royal court at Fontainebleau as it had developed by the middle of the 16th century.
