Über die gesamte Tellerfläche Darstellung des Gaius Mucius Scaevola vor Porsenna. Scaevola hält als Zeichen der Standhaftigkeit die Hand mit Schwert in eine Altarflamme. Die Stadtansicht im Hintergrund deutet Rom an. Prächtige Vielfarbigkeit in Blau, Schwarz, Gelb, Orange, Grün und Weiß. Die Szene am Rand eingefasst durch schmalen Streifen in Blau und Gelb. Durchgebrochen und rest. Ränder mit sehr kleinen Chips, rest. Brüche.

Anmerkung:
Bei der Belagerung von Rom schlich sich Gaius Mucius Scaevola in das Lager der feindlichen Etrusker, um den Etruskerkönig Lars Prosenna zu töten. Als er ertappt wurde, legte er seine Hand mit dem Schwert ins Feuer und ließ sich den Schmerz nicht anmerken. Von dieser Standhaftigkeit beeindruckt beendete Prosenna die Belagerung.

Als Anregung für die Darstellung diente Agostino und Marcantonio Raimondis Stich von Kaiser Hadrian bei der Befreiung des Androkles von 1516/17 nach einem Gemälde von Raffael.

Ein Teller von der möglicherweise gleichen Hand vgl. Jeanne Giacomotti, "Catalogue des majoliques des musées nationaux", Paris, 1974, S. 342f., Nr. 1042. (8910319)


Deep Maiolica Istoriato dish
Diameter: 26.6 cm.
Urbino, circa 1545.

The entire surface of the dish is decorated with a depiction of Gaius Mucius Scaevola in front of Porsenna. Scaevola is holding his sword-bearing hand in an altar flame as a sign of fortitude. The cityscape in the background shows Rome. There is rich polychromatism in blue, black, yellow, orange, green and white. The scene is framed by a small band in blue and yellow. Fractured and restored. Rim with a few chips, cracks restored.

Notes:
During the siege of Rome, Gaius Mucius Scaevola sneaked into the enemy's camp of the Etruscans to kill their King Lars Prosenna. When he was caught, he held his sword-bearing hand into the fire and displayed no signs of pain. Prosenna was so impressed by his fortitude that he ended the siege. As inspiration for this rendition Agostino and Marcantonio used Raimondi's engraving of Emperor Hadrian liberating Androkles from 1516 - 17 after a painting of Raffael.

For a dish, possibly from the same hand, see Jeanne Giacomotti, Catalogue des majoliques des musées nationaux, Paris, 1974, pp. 342ff., no. 1042.
