This plaque is among the earliest examples of the technique of enamel on copper used during the Renaissance to depict secular scenes. Although it illustrates a passage from the ancient text of the Aeneid , the architecture and dress are more reflective of the courtly style popular in 16th-century France, when this work was made.
