Plato

Italia, probablemente Pesaro

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 604

Este plato de gran tamaño formaba parte de una vajilla comisionada como regalo para Beatriz de Aragón, segunda esposa de Matías Corvino, rey de Hungría (r. 1458–1490); los blasones del rey Matías y de la Casa de Aragón decoran el borde de la pieza. Es probable que Camila de Aragón, prima de Beatriz, mandara hacer la vajilla en Pesaro, ciudad a la que se mudó después de contraer nupcias con Constancio Sforza en 1475. La escena central, pintada con incomparable maestría, y la exquisita ornamentación de los bordes hacen de este plato uno de los más importantes ejemplos de mayólica del siglo XV.
