Dish with landscape and architectural ruins
Painted by Siro Antonio Africa Italian
and his nephew Siro Domenico Africa Italian
in the workshop of Carlo Giuseppe Rampini Italian
Not on view
Landscapes with architectural ruins feature prominently on maiolica dishes made in Pavia, a city in the Lombardy region of Italy, during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. In spite of their natural setting, the imaginary vistas painted by Siro Antonio Africa and his nephew Siro Domenico evoke the extravagant theater sets of the Baroque stage.
