Plat

Italie, probablement Pesaro

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 604

Ce plat remarquable, de grand diamètre, faisait partie d’un service vraisemblablement commandé par Camille d’Aragon, qui le destinait à sa cousine Béatrice d’Aragon, seconde épouse de Matthias Ier Corvin, roi de Hongrie de 1458 à 1490. Les armes des deux maisons figurent sur la bordure. Le raffinement de cette dernière ainsi que la scène centrale magnifiquement peinte classent ce plat parmi les plus importantes majoliques du XVe siècle. Le service fut probablement produit à Pesaro, où Camille vécut après avoir épousé Costanzo Sforza, en 1475.
