EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Dovizia (glazed terracotta)" by Giovanni della Robbia. The sculpture, measuring 69.2x37.5x21 cm, is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. In this Renaissance masterpiece, we are transported to a world brimming with symbolism and abundance. A young female figure stands protectively next to a barking dog while holding a knife for pruning. She embodies both maternal care and the goddess of abundance as she safeguards a basket overflowing with luscious fruits. The glazed terracotta sculpture features intricate details that bring life to every element within it - from the vibrant blue gown worn by the nymph-like figure to the realistic textures of each fruit and leaf. The polychrome ceramic work highlights its artistic excellence and mastery. The presence of a little boy clutching a walking stick adds an endearing touch to this scene, symbolizing youth and innocence amidst nature's bounty. Together, they create an atmosphere that celebrates not only earthly delights but also our connection with botany and natural history. "Dovizia" serves as a testament to Robbia's talent in capturing beauty through his artistry while simultaneously conveying deeper meanings about protection, fertility, and abundance. This timeless piece continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide who appreciate its rich historical significance and aesthetic brilliance.
