Casteldurante Urbania, Angelo and Ludovico Picchi workshop, sec. XVI, half.
There are many news about the two Picchi brothers who worked first in Casteldurante and from 1565ca in Rome, among which the ordination in 1548 by Nicola Canizia of one thousand and five hundred majolicas decorated "trophies" and " alla veneziana " Palermo market, highlighting the workshop fame (Gardelli 2014, page 24). Although the musical or warlike "trophies" decoration persisted in Casteldurante until the seventeenth century, the extraordinary quality of the painting in the present dish, brings the pictorial genre back to its beginnings; in particular, it is legitimate to attribute it to the Canizia order to the two Picchi brothers, whose initials could be recognized in the two "p" in the cylinders above the drum. There are many comparisons with important majolica in various museums and private collections (ITALIKA, Formica etc.) but in general the cherubs are not obtained with a well-marked contour line as in the present, signing a remarkable artist, operating in the Picchi shop, and that perhaps he signs with a fence.
