Limoges enamellers decorated caskets, ewers, dishes, and small plates with Joseph scenes. Although no complete sets are known, this plate was probably one of a set of twelve each decorated with a different event in the story, beginning when Joseph was already the slave of Potifar in Egypt, and extending from his rejection of the enticements of Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39.7) to his reconciliation with his brothers (Genesis 45.14-16). Ten of the scenes were closely based on Bernard Salomon's woodcut illustrations to Claude Paradin’s 'Quadrins historiques de la Bible', first published by Jean de Tournes in Lyon in 1553. An augmented edition appeared in 1555, reprinted in 1558 and 1560, and another augmented edition in 1583. Each page had the biblical reference at the top, a woodcut, and an explanatory verse below. Another work of the same type, Guillaume Guéroult’s 'Figures de la Bible illustrées de huictains francoys . . . (Guillaume Roville), Lyons, 1564 (2nd edn, 1565), with illustrations by Pierre Eskrich was used for the 7th and 10th plates in the series, and the 12th has aspects from the woodcuts in both publications. This indicates that the series of plates were made after 1564/65.These books can be viewed online in the Gallica website of the Bibliothèque nationale. This plate is decorated with the fifth scene in the sequence. The Triumph of Joseph, described in Genesis, Chapter 41, 43: ‘And he [Pharaoh] made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt’. The Biblical reference ‘.G.XLI’ is given above the scene which was copied from a woodcut illustration entitled ‘GENESE XLI’ by Bernard Salomon in Claude Paradin, 'Quadrins Historique de la Bible', Lyon, 1553 or a later edition., . (The 1558 edn is in the Cambridge University Library Keynes, E.3.4, and in the Fitzwilliam Museum Dept. of MSS and Printed Books). At least two more plates are known decorated with this subject, one with a blue ground, in the Musée du Louvre (see Documentation, Baratte, 2000), and one with a manganese-black ground which descended in the family of Lionel de Rothschild (1808-79) and was sold by Sotheby's London in 2003 (see Documentation). The overall appearance of these plates, the border on the fronts, and the style of grisaille decoration on the reverses, is comparable to a set of plates decorated with scenes from the Life of the Virgin signed' I.C.' . These have the de Vic arms below on the rims, probably for Méry de Vic (d. 1622), who had been resident in Limoges as intendant during 1588 and 1589, while on a mission to restore order in the region for Henry III, and after his assassination in August 1589, had transferred his allegiance to Henry IV. It seems possible that the plates were made about that time, and if not, before 1603 when a change was made to the de Vic arms. In that year, Henry IV granted to Dominic de Vic, a distinguished soldier, administrator and diplomat (d. 1610), and his brother, Méry, the right to add to their arms 'un écusson d’azure chargé d’une fleur de lys d’or et d’une bordure du même' (a blue shield charged with a gold fleur de lys and a border of the same). The mark ‘I•C’ seems likely to have been a workshop mark used succesively by Jehan or Jean Court dit Vigier I (d. 1592) and his son, Jean Court dit Vigier II (b. c.1575-d. between 1631-5). The issue is complicated by the presence of another Jehan/Jean de Court who witnessed the latter's wedding in 1598, and was therefore probably a relative, and possibly an enameller, and of another enameller, Jehan/Jean Court dit Vigier le jeune who married in 1613, and died between 1627-31, but seems likely to have been too young to have been the decorator of the Joseph Plates.
