Catalogue Note
These plaques are executed in the style of Jacques Laudin (1637-1695) who, along with his son, executed several series of portrait medallions of the Twelve Caesars, after engravings by Mercantonio Raimondi. Examples of these enamels can be found in the Louvre and also in the former Reculis collection. Laudin's son, also named Jacques, carried on his father's work into the beginning of the eighteenth century.
