Christ Bearing the Cross. Artist: Ferdinando Tacca (Italian, Florence 1619-1686 Florence). Culture: Italian, Florence. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 6 3/4 × 9 3/4 × 1 3/4 in. (17.1 × 24.8 × 4.4 cm). Date: mid-17th century.This may be the finest surviving example of the plaque. The elastic poses, the use of stippling to define details such as clouds and turf, and the ruddy translucent lacquer all justify Anthony Radcliffe's inclusion of the model among lesser works by Ferdinando Tacca.1 Inferior examples are paired with equally unevenly cast representations of a scene from the Flight into Egypt in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; the Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence; and the Wernher Collection at Luton Hoo.2 Even at their best, as here, the plaques do not suggest the atmospheric breadth achieved in Tacca's masterpiece in relief, The Martyrdom of Saint Stephen, in Santo Stefano al Ponte, Florence,3 and are probably to be dated somewhat earlier.James D.

Medallion with the Feast of Ahasuerus. Culture: Netherlandish. Dimensions: Diam. 1 7/8 × 1/4 in. (4.8 × 0.6 cm).

In art, her story was associated with royal women in the Burgundian Netherlands, as a means of comparing their strong commitment to their people to Esther's good example.
