EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately painted dish transports us back to the early Renaissance period, specifically between 1490 and 1510 in Deruta, Italy. Measuring at a diameter of 37.6 cm, this stunning piece is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The dish showcases a captivating scene from Aesop's Fables, an ancient collection of moral tales. The central focus is on a man engaged in falconry, with his trained birds of prey perched nearby. A majestic eagle and other colorful birds add to the lively atmosphere against a backdrop of rolling hills and serene landscapes. Every detail on this ceramic masterpiece has been meticulously hand-painted using tin glaze technique, resulting in its radiant colors that have stood the test of time. The ornate gold border further enhances its decorative appeal. Created by an unknown Italian artist during the height of classical influence, this dish exemplifies both technical skill and artistic storytelling. Its narrative quality invites viewers to reflect upon timeless lessons found within Aesop's Fables. As we admire this remarkable work today, it serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that emerged during one of history's most transformative periods – where art seamlessly blended with daily life through objects like these exquisite maiolica ceramics from Deruta.
