Plat aux armes du pape Jules II et des Manzoli de Bologne

1508
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 950
Considéré comme l’une des plus belles majoliques (faïence stannifère raffinée) jamais exécutées, ce plat est splendidement décoré de symboles de l’autorité pontificale, telles les clés et la tiare, et de références, tel le chêne, au pape Jules II della Rovere et à sa famille. C’est probablement Jules II qui en a passé commande à l’intention de son fidèle allié, le nonce bolognais Melchiorre di Giorgio Manzoli — dont on voit les armoiries tout en bas — pour commémorer le rétablissement de l’autorité papale à Bologne, en 1506. Au dos du plat figure le nom de Giovanni Maria Vasaro, qui est soit l’artiste soit le propriétaire de l’atelier à qui l’on doit la pièce.
