La Maiolica a Milano Nel Settecento [Italian]

By Raffaella Ausenda

Milan, 1745. Riding the favorable economic wave of the Austrian Empire, Felice Clerici founded the first modern "maiolica fina" factory in the city, adopting European and Oriental forms and decorations as innovative artistic models. It would be a great success. Clerici's best painter, Pasquale Rubati, would become independent about ten years later, and also a third company would be active for a short period: the "Fabbrica di Santa Cristina". The book is based on the historical study of many documentary papers, including company inventories, and shows he known museum specimens along with those, often unpublished, taken from an important private collection.
