Maiolica in Renaissance Venice : ceramics and luxury at the crossroads
Karine Tsoumis (Author), Christopher Maxwell (Contributor), George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (Host institution)
"This richly illustrated volume explores maiolica's multifaceted connection to objects ranging from Islamic metalwork to Venetian glass and examines the role of maiolica within the vast range of luxury objects made in Venice and imported into the city, highlighting the place of the medium at the nexus of cross-media and cross-cultural exchanges. Thematic discussions investigate the circulation of artefacts and the migration of ornament, the potter's workshop and artistic lineage, and maiolica's position in the material culture of splendour that characterised elite interiors"-- Provided by publisher
