Exhibition at the Galerie Aveline, Paris, 6 June - 6 July 2024

Italian majolica, a decorative ceramic characterised by coloured glazes and elaborate motifs, developed in the 15th century in Tuscany, then in Faenza, in the province of Ravenna. In the early 16th century, Urbino built its prestigious reputation on dishes with historiated decorations, some of which were the work of Raphael and his emulators.

A major artist of the Italian Renaissance, the 'Painter of the Marsyas of Milan' is one of the most recognised artists in the art of painting on majolica. His identity is still unknown, but his hand is now perfectly identifiable.

This catalogue, published to coincide with the exhibition devoted by the Galerie Aveline to Urbino majolica in the 1530s, provides an exhaustive catalogue of the work of the 'Painter of the Marsyas of Milan' and offers an in-depth insight into the often little-known art of historiated majolica.
