This series of eighteen copper plates in painted enamel with the Stories of the Passion of\u00a0<\/span>Christ (invs. 64499-64516) are exemplary. Despite their small size (approx. 20.3 x 16 cm), the\u00a0<\/span>artist stages elaborate compositions rich in pathos with embellishments in a wide range\u00a0<\/span>of colors including gold. The other four rectangular painted enamel plates (invs. 64484-<\/span>64487) are of reduced dimensions (approx. 12 x 10 cm) depicting: Ecce Homo \u201cBehold the\u00a0<\/span>Man\u201d; Christ before Pilate; Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. They are taken from the series\u00a0<\/span>of engravings of Albrecht Du\u0308rer\u2019s Small Passion; Dormition of the Virgin. The focus is on the\u00a0<\/span>Mother of Christ in two small centered plates donated by Francesco Vettori to Pope Benedict\u00a0XIV, who entrusted the scholar with the care of the newly founded Christian Museum (1756).<\/span><\/p>\n
