In the 16th century, artists often combined individual enamel plaques to form large tableaux. The particular form of these examples suggests they may have been intended to fill a corner. It was not unusual for classical gods or ancient heroes to appear in support of the message in the principal scene: often they would symbolize one of the virtues.
