This in-depth look at the history of maiolica, told through 140 exemplary pieces from the world-class collection at the Metropolitan Museum, offers a new perspective on a major aspect of Italian Renaissance art. Most of the works have never been published and all are newly photographed. The ceramics are featured alongside detailed descriptions of production techniques and a consideration of the social and cultural context, making this an invaluable resource for scholars and collectors. The imaginatively decorated works include an eight-figure group of the Lamentation, the largest and most ambitious piece of sculpture produced in a Renaissance maiolica workshop; pharmacy jars; bella donna plates; and more.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art \/ Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art(08\/29\/16-02\/26\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51904638255392,"sku":"NEW1588395618","price":119.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61XO7_USbTL.jpg?v=1782192241","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/maiolica-italian-renaissance-ceramics-in-the-metropolitan-museum-of-art-highlights-of-the-collection-1588395618","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
