Workshop of Embriachi

Workshop of Embriachi is a Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This Florentine workshop shaped tiny wooden panels with biblical scenes and plagues, painted between 1390 and 1425. Their triptych shows Christ on the cross framed by saints, while four small panels each picture a different disaster: locusts, flies, hail, and an untitled scene. The colors are still bright after six centuries, thanks to egg-based paint and careful carving. Want to see another plague panel up close? Tap “The Plague of Hail.”
