This work is derived from early seventeenth-century silver originals by Paulus van Vianen. After van Vianen went to the court of Emperor Rudolph II in Prague in 1603, he produced gold and silver vessels and plaquettes, fashioned with some of the most exquisite reliefs ever seen in these metals. Most of these have been melted down since, but casts in less precious metals such as lead and bronze, like these (of which other versions also survive), perpetuate their memory.
