Maestro Giorgio Andreoli

Maestro Giorgio Andreoli is a maiolica painter whose name is tied to the tin-glazed earthenware tradition of lustered ceramics, a technique he used to give vessels their characteristic iridescent finish. His subjects range across classical narrative, as in the wide-rimmed bowl depicting figures from Virgil's Aeneid. The archive holds a single work by this artist, made in maiolica with lustering, dated to 1525.
