Created in Deruta, Italy between 1500 and 1530, this ceramic masterpiece falls under the category of applied arts. It is currently housed at the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The plate's intricate design features Judith, a biblical figure known for her bravery and cunning. She is depicted holding the severed head of Holofernes, an Assyrian general who threatened her people. The vibrant colors and meticulous detailing on this tin-glazed earthenware piece truly bring it to life. Deruta ceramics are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and decorative artistry.
