Vintage Mid Century Italian Ceramic della Robbia style sculptural wall plaque. This stunning piece features rich color and relief sculpture. Signed on the back.
Modeled after the Renaissance Florentine artist, Luca della Robbia and his son Andrea, who crafted the vibrant tin-glazed terracotta relief sculpture methods never before seen, to depict religious scenes or people, such as the Madonna and Child. Their work decorates much of Florence and can be seen in cathedrals, museums, and even street corners throughout Italy.
This piece is likely a mid century tourist piece, brought back by an admiring traveler. Any lover of historical design, Italy, or art will love and appreciate this unique piece!
Designer pro tip: mix this in with a collection of tiles or plates hung on the wall, or with framed art to create a variation in shape and texture. I have one in my own home, see the photos for inspiration!
