Gilded bronze kissing plate depicting the Throne of Grace in an architectural frame with fluted columns and pediment; putti, horns of plenty, garlands, shields, inscription PAX.VOBIS. (Peace [be] with you) Italy, Venice, mid-16th century H. 20.8 cm An in-depth study by American art historian and collector Mike Riddick has examined this type of architecturally framed kiss of peace plaque. He notes Raphael's influence, particularly in the interpretation of the cherubs. Riddick lists four plates with similar frames and various subjects, two depicting the Risen Christ in private collections, one dated 1557, another in the Louvre with the Lamentation at the Foot of the Cross (inv. OA 2543) and this one illustrating the Throne of Grace. He likens this production to the school of the silversmith Antonio da San Marino, who worked in Rome for Popes Innocent VIII and Alexander VI.
