Join a Met curator for an exploration of French and Portuguese Palissy ware, named for the Renaissance master Bernard Palissy, whose ceramics were ornamented with reptiles, shells, and amphibians cast from life. Learn how 19th-century potters rediscovered Palissy's techniques in a time inspired by new visions of nature, utopian fantasy, and science fiction. Please note: This event is prerecorded.
