We offer you this rare gilded bronze plaque depicting a dramatic historical scene: the assassination of the Duke of Guise, a major episode of the Wars of Religion. The finely chiseled relief shows the duke encircled, at the heart of a striking action scene, in a richly adorned interior setting. Every detail—gesture, costume, architecture—evokes the rigor of craftsmanship inspired by classical art and historical romanticism. The subject, drawn from a tragic moment in the History of France, is here magnified by the technique of bronze bas-relief, mounted on a dark oak panel that emphasizes the nobility of the work.
