FRANCESCO XANTO AVELLI DA ROVIGO. Armorial dish: The story of Apollo

Armorial dish: The story of Apollo. Artist: Francesco Xanto Avelli da Rovigo (Italian, Rovigo ca.1487-1542). Dimensions: Diam. 10 1/2 in. (26.6 cm). Date: 1532. This splendid plate formed part of one of the largest majolica services ever made, commissioned by Piero Maria Pucci (1467-1547) of Florence, whose arms are visible at the center. Highly distinguished in the first half of the sixteenth century, Pucci family members served under the Medici popes Leo X (r. 1513-21) and Clement VII (r. 1523-34). Thirty-seven pieces from the maiolica service survive (including four in the Lehman Collection: see also 1975.1.1131; 1975.1.1134; 1975.1.1135), all painted in Urbino by the celebrated maiolica painter Francesco Xanto Avelli da Rovigo in 1532 and 1533. Some pieces were sent to Gubbio to be completed with luster decoration under Xanto's direction. This plate portrays the story of Apollo catching the fleeing nymph Daphne, his first love, who turns into a laurel tree.
