Maiolica in the Making: The Gentili/Barnabei Archive & Dossiers : the Collections of the Getty Research Institute for the History of Art and the Humanities, 4)
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, potters from the Italian village of Castelli dAbruzzo created wares that constitute a final, supremely pictorial phase of the tin-glazed earthenware art know as maiolica. Here, Catharine Hess documents the Gentili/Barabei archive--a recently acquired collection of 276 documents relating to these celebrated ceramics--to show how it illuminates the production of maiolica.
