Description: | RU Collector's mark b.l. of Sir Thomas Lawrence (Lugt 2446). CRE BOYVIN, Rene; (French; 1525-1598) AFTER POLIDORO DA CARAVAGGIO (Polidoro Caldara); (Italian; 1492-1543) These vases seem to be loosely based on designs of Polidoro. Polidoro's best known vases were those in fresco on the facade of the palazzo Milesi in the Via della Maschera d'Oro in Rome (Marabottini 15). There, on the frieze on the second level Polidoro painted 10 pairs of vases enclosing a trophy. These were engraved in 1576 by Cherubino Alberti which may have been Boyvin's inspiration. Although the shapes fo the vases correspond to those of Polidoro, Boyvin's figures in the scenes displayed are characteristic of designs by Primaticcio. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ORNAMENT PRINT : NUDE : FONTAINEBLEAU SCHOOL : VASE : RENAISSANCE : PALAZZO MILESI : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
