EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Pilgrim Flask with Marine Scenes is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the Workshop of Orazio Fontana. Created in Urbino, Italy around 1560-1570, this tin-glazed earthenware flask stands at an impressive size of 44.13 x 28.58cm (17 3/8 x 11 1/4 in. ). The flask showcases intricate marine scenes that transport us to a world filled with nautical wonders. The skilled hands of the Italian artisans have beautifully depicted sailing ships navigating through turbulent waves, while mythical sea creatures playfully frolic beneath them. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring these scenes to life. As a pilgrim flask, it carries historical significance as well. These flasks were often used by travelers on religious journeys as containers for holy water or other sacred liquids. This particular piece would have been treasured by its owner not only for its practicality but also for its artistic beauty. The influence of Orazio Fontana's workshop is evident in every brushstroke and glaze application on this masterpiece. Fontana himself was renowned for his contributions to maiolica pottery during the Renaissance period. Today, this stunning work resides within the Liszt Collection, serving as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that emerged from Urbino and continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
