The pieces in the collection showcase brilliantly the skill of potters and pottery painters working at the time of Raphael and Titian. Maiolica is one of the most revealing expressions of Renaissance art. Its extraordinary range of colours retain the vividness that they had when they left the potter's kiln. Italian potters absorbed techniques and shapes from the Islamic world and incorporated ornament and subject matter from the arts of ancient Rome. This new approach to pottery making, combined with the invention of printing, woodcut and engraving, resulted in an extraordinary type of painted pottery, praised by Vasari in his Lives of the Artists for 'surpassing the ancient with its brilliance of glaze and variety of painting'. The collection boasts a magnificent group of vessels made during the high Renaissance, the golden age of Italian maiolica. It includes precious and delicate Deruta lustreware with imagery deriving from Perugino and Raphael, as well as vessels painted in a narrative style of pottery painting known as istoriato. Highlights include vessels depicting episodes taken from the first printed Bibles of the Renaissance. Istoriato maiolica flourished particularly in the lands of the Dukes of Urbino, who promoted this craft by sending painted pottery to prestigious patrons across Europe. 610 20 $a Courtauld Institute Galleries $v Catalogs. 610 27 $a Courtauld Institute Galleries $2 fast 650 0 $a Majolica, Italian $z London $z London $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Majolica, Renaissance $z Italy $v Catalogs. 650 6 $a Majolique italienne $v Catalogues. 650 6 $a Majolique de la Renaissance $z Italie $v Catalogues. 650 6 $a Majolique italienne $z Londres $z Londres $v Catalogues. 650 7 $a Majolica, Italian $2 fast 650 7 $a Majolica, Renaissance $2 fast 651 7 $a Italy $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJvd8mVMcRhwVmbtcqCPcP 655 7 $a Catalogs $2 fast 710 2 $a Courtauld Institute Galleries, $e issuing body. $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417025616.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A93108BEFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
