Summary :
Amazing object, this Baptistère de saint Louis. Masterpiece of metalwork inlaid with gold and silver produced by Mohammed Ibn Az-Zaim in the Mamluke era - former slaves dynasty which ruled the Arab world from Cairo from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century - it yet carries on its side the lily of the kings of France.
"The "Enquête d'art " series questions nine artworks of the museum: what are the contexts and conditions of manufacture? Which characters have shaped their destinies? How these artworks have been designed? How did they enter the Louvre? A didactic voiceover offers a precious light on the technical terms used by specialists in their description of art. Each film is a survey in form of travel, aiming at following the course of an artwork and to reconnect with its roots."
