Verified profile

The basin bears the coat of arms of the Veterani family of Urbino in the center, supported by two winged cherubs; the remaining surface is occupied by a thick Raphaelesque decoration with fantastic figures and animals, cameos and masks. This decorative typology derives from the wall paintings of the palaces of ancient Rome, especially the Domus Aurea, whose underground rooms looked like caves to Renaissance visitors and motivated the term "grotesque" to define this decorative collection. The most fortunate results were achieved by Raphael and his circle in the Farnese residences and in the Vatican Loggias, hence the term "Raphaelesque" to designate the "grotesques" on a white background. Starting from 1560 the "Raphaelesque" conquered also the majolica pottery, especially in the Urbino area, where the workshop of Orazio Fontana excelled with the production of superb services, upholstered by a rich and refined universe of bizarre creatures and references to antiquity.
