EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Umbrian majolica gold and ruby-lustre footed dish, originating from Deruta to Gubbio in the early 16th century. The ceramic masterpiece, measuring at a diameter of 23.1 cm, is currently held in a private collection. The focal point of this stunning dish lies within its central well, where a bust-length portrait of an elegant woman adorns the surface. She wears a resplendent robe adorned with rich hues of ruby and gold, surrounded by delicate ruby flowers and intricate gold foliage. The border features a striking blue-ground design reserved with interlocking scrolls and stylized scrolling foliage that has been enhanced with red and gold lustre. While time has left its mark on this remarkable piece, including chipping and losses to the foot as well as minor glaze flaking to the well, its beauty remains undeniable. The reverse side boasts concentric ruby bands that add depth to its overall aesthetic. With its ornate decoration and meticulous craftsmanship, this Umbrian majolica dish represents the epitome of Italian ceramics during the Renaissance period. Its presence evokes images of opulent banquets hosted by noble families in Italy's historic region of Umbria. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are granted a glimpse into the artistic mastery that once graced tables across Europe centuries ago.
