IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 156458 accession number: M.4-1954 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 5 March 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Rectangular very convex copper plaque, enamelled in grisaille and with pale pink on a black ground, and gilded. The black appears dark mulberry-brown round the edges. The technique of enlevage was used to model the figures. The reverse has cloudy, and bubbly translucent counter-enamel with many pin holes of different sizes, and red oxidization spots. The action takes place inside the temple. On the left is a doorway with a horizontal architrave, and on the right, an archway with a circular window above it. To left of centre there is a row of receding cylindrical columns and to the right on the wall, a sconce with a lighted candle. Christ stands in front of the columns, whielding a twisted rope in his right hand to drive the money lenders away. His back is turned to the viewer and he looks down towards a money lender who lies on his back on the ground at his feet, with an upturned stool table, a bag of money and a heap of gold coins beside him. Two men flee towards the arch on the right, in which are three other men, and a priest who is looking towards the action. On the left is an upturned stool, a man holding a sacrificial sheep, and three partly visible figures, one a woman, standing beside the doorway. Above the circular window there is a tabella ansata bearing the initials ‘M.D.’ with a dot inside the D. The gilding is restricted to the heap of coins, Christ’s aureole, the candle flame, and a line round the edge of the scene. object type: copper, enamelled in grisaille with Christ driving the Moneylenders from the Temple, and gilded. Signed ‘M.D.’ with a dot inside the D. title: plaque NOTES ----- type: history note value: Andrew Fountaine III (1770-1835); Andrew Fountaine IV (1808-1873) ; Christie’s,16 June, 1884, and following days, Catalogue of the Celebrated Fountaine Collection of Majolica, Henri II.
