"Polidoro da Caravaggio: A Master of Print and Pottery" Polidoro da Caravaggio, a renowned Italian artist from the 16th century, left an indelible mark on the art world with his exquisite prints and pottery. His talent is evident in the titleplate to a series of prints after Polidoro, where a shield supported by two putti proudly displays his name. One of his notable works is "Moses striking the Rock, " created between 1530-50 by an anonymous artist. This captivating piece captures the power and drama of biblical events, showcasing Polidoro's influence. In another print titled "Two Seated Angels Singing, " we witness Polidoro's ability to bring celestial beings to life through intricate details and delicate brushwork. The angels' harmonious voices seem almost audible as they serenade us with their heavenly melodies. Polidoro's impact extended beyond prints into pottery as well. A maiolica dish depicting Apollo slaying the Sons of Niobe showcases his mastery over shape and form. The plain rim adds simplicity that enhances the intensity of this mythological scene. Another remarkable example is "Cloelia on horseback crossing the Tiber" by Giulio Bonasone, which pays homage to Polidoro's style. This print beautifully captures Cloelia's bravery as she fearlessly navigates her way across turbulent waters atop her majestic steed. Rene Boyvin also drew inspiration from Polidoro in creating stunning vases such as "Vase with Two Winged Figures Draping a Term" and "Vase with a River God in an Oval Medallion. " These pieces showcase Boyvin's skillful interpretation of Polidoro's aesthetic while adding his own unique touch. Lastly, we have Divers Trophees - weapon trophies inspired by Palazzo Milesi in Rome - paying tribute to both Polidoro and Façade.
