The brightly colored tin-enameled earthenware called maiolica was
among the major accomplishments of decorative arts in 16th-century
Italy. This in-depth look at the history of maiolica, told through
140 exemplary pieces from the world-class collection at the
Metropolitan Museum, offers a new perspective on a major aspect of
Italian Renaissance art. Most of the works have never been
published and all are newly photographed. The ceramics are featured
alongside detailed descriptions of production techniques and a
consideration of the social and cultural context, making this an
invaluable resource for scholars and collectors. The imaginatively
decorated works include an eight-figure group of the Lamentation,
the largest and most ambitious piece of sculpture produced in a
Renaissance maiolica workshop; pharmacy jars; bella donna plates;
and more. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art / Distributed
by Yale University Press Exhibition Schedule: The Metropolitan
Museum of Art (08/29/16-02/26/17)
