EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite enamelled dish created by the renowned French potter, Bernard Palissy, in the 16th century. Palissy's innovative approach to pottery earned him recognition as the inventor of rustic ware. Drawing inspiration from nature, he meticulously crafted moulds for his ceramic pieces using examples from aquatic life such as fish, shells, reptiles, snakes, plants, leaves, animals like lizards and lobsters. The intricate details of this dish are beautifully captured in this wood engraving from "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless elegance to Palissy's work while highlighting its craftsmanship. Palissy's mastery is evident in every element depicted on this plate - from amphibians like frogs to seashells and foliage. The delicate enamel glaze brings these natural forms to life with stunning realism. As we gaze upon this print today, we can appreciate how Palissy pushed boundaries in ceramics during his time. His dedication to capturing nature's beauty through his artistry continues to inspire generations of artists and craftsmen alike.
