LOUVRE PLOČA
U pariškom Louvreu izložena su bezvremenska djela Briota. Briot je bio jedan od najznačajnijih gravera 16. stoljeća, a naša ploča izvrstan je primjer njegova rada. Tema ove gravure je pad čovjeka iz raja. Iz toga je slijedio život, u porastu čovječanstva diljem svijeta, i smrt, kako iz prirodnih tako i iz ljudskih uzroka. Tu je i radost života. Dvanaest vitezova brani i služi šest djevojaka. Osim takvih motiva, Briot je izradio i velike bakroreze, bilježeći bitke i ratove za sljedeće generacije. Dok je bio na jednom od svojih brojnih putovanja u potrazi za inspiracijom, Briot je pao s konja i umro od ozljeda.

LOUVRE PLATE
In the Louvre, Paris, are displayed the timeless works of Briot. Briot was one of the most important engravers of the 16 th century , and our plate is an excellent example of his work. The theme of this engraving is the fall of Man from Paradise. From that followed life, in the increase of mankind throughout the world, and death, both from natural and human causes. There is also the joy of life. Twelve knights defend and serve six maidens. In addition to such motifs, Briot also produced large copper engravings, capturing battles and wars for following generations. Whilst out on one of his many travels to find inspiration Briot fell from his horse and died of the injuries.
