PÉNICAUD, Nardon
(b. ca. 1470, Limoges, d. ca. 1542, Limoges)

The Annunciation

1510s
Painted enamel on copper, partly gilt
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

The figure of the archangel Gabriel on the left plaque was probably based on an engraving by Martin Schongauer, but the facial style and gravity of expression are Pénicaud's.
