Cuenco con las armas del papa Julio II y de la familia Manzoli de Bolonia

workshop of Giovanni Maria Vasaro

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 950

Este cuenco es uno de los más bellos ejemplos existentes de la refinada cerámica vidriada conocida como mayólica. Su espléndida decoración incluye unas llaves y una tiara, símbolos de la autoridad papal, y un roble, en referencia al linaje del papa Julio II della Rovere. Probablemente fue encargado por el papa para su fiel partidario, el embajador boloñés Melchiorre di Giorgio Manzoli—cuyo blasón aparece en el extremo inferior—para conmemorar el restablecimiento del dominio papal sobre Bolonia en 1506. El nombre inscrito en el dorso, Giovanni Maria Vasaro, puede corresponder al pintor o bien al dueño del taller en Castel Durante donde se hizo el cuenco.
