Prato com as armas do papa Júlio II e da família Manzoli de Bolonha

workshop of Giovanni Maria Vasaro

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 950

Este prato, considerado um dos mais belos exemplos existentes de maiólica (cerâmica vitrificada refinada), é adornado com belas decorações que incluem uma tiara e algumas chaves, símbolos da autoridade papal, e uma árvore de carvalho, em referência à linhagem do papa Júlio II della Rovere. Provavelmente foi encomendada pelo papa para o seu fiel defensor, o embaixador bolonhês Melchiorre di Giorgio Manzoli—cujo brasão aparece na borda inferior—para celebrar a restauração do domínio papal sobre Bolonha em 1506. Giovanni Maria Vasaro, cujo nome está gravado na parte de trás, talvez tenha sido o pintor ou o dono da oficina em Castel Durante onde foi produzido o prato.
