Polychrome painted enamel plate with gold highlights depicting *The Calmed Storm*. Salmon-colored counter-enamel. Limoges, circle of Colin Nouailhier (1514–1588), mid-16th century H.: 23.2 cm – W.: 18.6 cm (Restorations) This rare depiction, of which no other examples in painted enamel are known, is reminiscent of a composition on a plate by the Master of the Aeneid depicting Achaemenes emerging from a ship and landing at the foot of Mount Etna in Sicily, based on Virgil’s epic. It was Sebastian Brant (1458–1521), the famous Strasbourg engraver, who provided the models for the series of plates by the Master of the Aeneid; the ship’s hull depicted here closely resembles an engraving by the same artist illustrating *The Ship of Fools* (1494) (fig.).
