Updated 28 February 2018 Bibliography of works on Renaissance and later maiolica [An extensive bibliography of the older maiolica sale and collection catalogues is given by Norman 1976. A few relevant works on painting and drawing and on ancillary subjects such as heraldry, iconography, and the history of collecting have been listed here. Only some of the numerous archaeological publications dealing with medieval maiolica and with slipware in the context of excavations have been included. Works dealing with post-17th-century maiolica have, in the main, been included only when they are relevant to the collections in the British Museum or the Ashmolean Museum. Completeness has not been the intention and some things I have found useless, derivative, or vacuous have been deliberately omitted (and others no doubt by mistake). This also incorporates the bibliography to Dora Thornton’s and my Italian Renaissance Ceramics. A catalogue of the British Museum collection (2009), and of my book Italian Maiolica and Europe for the Ashmolean Museum (2017), and items cited therein, including some not specifically on maiolica, are, for the most part, included.

  • Majolica Drug Jars by WILLIAM M

    Majolica Drug Jars By WILLIAM M. MILLIKEN, THE ALBARELLO or drug jar made as a simple object of utility for the storing of drugs has often achieved a value far beyond that which its function suggests. In these days when containers mean so much and perfumes are sold partly because of name, partly because of the way the product is presented; in these days when effective packaging is essential for success, the concern of the Renaissance potter in turning out an object of use which at the same time had beauty will be readily understood. Many of these humble earthenware productions have sur- vived the centuries and now grace the vitrines of museums and the cabinets of the greatest collectors, although in the first instance, they were merely planned as workmanlike performances which would ful- fill adequately and decoratively the simple purpose asked. Majolica, an earthenware glazed with a stanniferous, or tin, glaze was a most practical answer to a need. It was resistant and it was cleanly. The use of this tin glaze originated in the Near East, probably in Persia or Mesopotamia, and from there it travelled in the trail of Islam. When it reached Spain is not known with certainty, but it must have been introduced during the Moorish conquest and in the fourteenth century it was definitely in use in the region around Valencia. Curiously enough, the term, majolica, used as a generic name for a certain type of pottery made in Italy during the Renaissance, came from the old Italian form of the Island of Majorca in the Balearic Isles.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

    sargent, monet... and manet Elaine Kilmurray In December 2006, I went to Paris to look at a cache of over a thousand letters written to Claude Monet by fellow artists (Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt, Cézanne, Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Rodin, Sisley), writers (Octave Mirbeau, Gustave Geffroy) and his principal dealer (Paul Durand-Ruel) that had remained in the collection of Monet’s descendents and were about to be auctioned. They had passed through generations of the Monet family and many were unreleased and/or unpublished. Those of us working on the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné project were particularly interested in seventeen letters from Sargent to Monet. There has always been a sense of the provisional in accounts of the relationship between the two artists, a scarcity of fixed points and an absence of detail. We wanted to see how illuminating these letters were and how helpful they might be in filling lacunae and deepening our understanding. The timing was fortuitous: we were engaged on research for Volume V of the catalogue raisonné, in which we would catalogue Sargent’s most ‘Impressionist’ paintings. At the Artcurial auction house, I spoke to Thierry Bodin, who had done initial transcriptions of all the letters for the sale catalogue to a daunting deadline. The members of the catalogue raisonné team have struggled with Sargent’s writing (especially when in French, Italian or Spanish) for decades, and it was gratifying to hear from M. Bodin that, while Octave Mirbeau’s tight, closely worked hand had given him the most trouble, Sargent’s had come a close second.

    PALAZZO DUCALE DI URBINO Mini Guida

    PALAZZO DUCALE DI URBINO GALLERIA NAZIONALE DELLE MARCHE LA NOSTRA MINI GUIDA Disegnato dall’architetto Luciano Laurana, sullo splendido scenario naturale delle verdi colline marchigiane, l’imponente palazzo di Urbino è stato così descritto da Baldassar Castiglione nella sua opera Il Cortegiano: “ …il più bello che in tutta l’Italia si ritrovi; e d’ogni oportuna cosa sì ben lo fornì, che non un palazzo, ma una città in forma di palazzo esser pareva”. Patrimonio dell’Umanità dal 1998, Urbino divenne, per volere di Federico da Montefeltro, una delle corti più raffinate e intellettualmente attive del Rinascimento, una vera e propria “Città ideale”. Moltissimi letterati, musicisti ed artisti dell’epoca si formarono in questa città, per poi irradiare i tesori della propria arte in tutta Italia. Fra i tanti, possiamo ricordare Raffaello Sanzio, che nacque in questo ameno borgo dove ancora oggi si può visitare la sua dimora. Dal 1912, il Palazzo Ducale è sede della Galleria Nazionale delle Marche e ospita numerosi capolavori della storia dell’arte italiana. Le collezioni di opere d'arte esposte derivano in larga parte da opere raccolte nel XIX secolo, da chiese e conventi del territorio marchigiano. Relativamente scarse sono invece le opere delle collezioni ducali, già disperse nel corso dei secoli. Federico da Montefeltro, valoroso capitano di ventura e illuminato mecenate, signore del Ducato dal 1444 al 1482, volle la realizzazione di quella che ancora oggi è considerata una delle più belle opere del Rinascimento: il Palazzo Ducale di Urbino. Fra le innumerevoli maestranze che furono impiegate per la costruzione, spiccano i nomi di tre architetti: il fiorentino Maso di Bartolomeo, il dalmata Luciano Laurana, il senese Francesco di Giorgio Martini e di diversi decoratori e artisti che resero il palazzo un punto focale del Rinascimento Italiano.

M. DENT & SONS LTD. •8 *« AND IN NEW YORK BY « « E. P. DUTTON & COMPANY TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE ALTHOUGH Del Badia's ample and learned notes are sufficient for an Italian, it seemed to me that many allu­ sions might be puzzling to an English reader, especially to one who did not know Florence well; therefore I have added short notes on city-gates, churches and other buildings which now no longer exist; on some of the festivals and customs; on those streets which have changed their nomenclature since Landucci's, day; and also on the old money. His old-fashioned spelling of names and places has been retained (amongst other peculiarities the Florentine was in the habit of replacing an I by an r) ; also the old calendar; and the old Florentine method of reckoning the hours of the day (see notes to 12 January, 1465, and to 27 April, 1468). As for the changes in the Government, they were so frequent and so complex, that it is necessary to have recourse to a consecutive history in order to under­ stand them. A. DE R. J. Florence 1926.

Contested civic space: The Piazza della Signoria in Medicean Florence Abstract The heart of civic life in Renaissance Florence was an open square called the Piazza della Signoria. The piazza was the site of debates, executions, and power struggles, making it the most contested space in the city. Florentines held tremendous pride in their republic and often commissioned sculptural works to represent their civic values, displaying them publicly in the piazza. This research examines the shifting messages of sculptural works in the Piazza della Signoria during three distinct periods: from the piazza's creation in 1300 until 1494; from the expulsion of the Medici in 1494 until their return in 1512; and after 1512 during the Medici’s reign as the Dukes of Florence.
