Florentine Enamel Terracotta Plaques
Luca della Robbia, 1400–1482, was an Italian sculptor from Florence who developed a technique for glazing terracotta with enamel. He found that the glaze made his terracotta panels more weatherproof so they became popular amongst the Florentines, to decorate the exterior and interior of buildings.
The Bas relief terracotta panels of Luca della Robbia are typified by their blue background against which raised relief figures are carved and glazed in off white. The panels can also be decorated with glazed green foliage and yellow fruit.
This restrictive colour pallet is typical of the Florentine Enamel plaque made by Luca della Robbia and other Florentine artists.
The end result are striking plaques that were used to decorated over doorways or in niches.
