All the pieces depict classical mythology and include Anne de Montmorency coat of arms in a slightly inaccurate rendering........\r\nMontmorency was the greatest private art patron of the French Renaissance.\r\nNo documentation has come to light about the commission of this service, but it is likely that it was a diplomatic gift from Italy to one of the most influential men at the French court.\r\n\r\nMost of the pieces from the set are inscribed on the back with the name of the workshop in which they were made that of Guido Durantino in Urbino in 1535. \r\nGuido, who later took the name of Fontana, was head of one of the most prolific workshops in Urbino from the 1530s and he employed some of the best istoriato painters available. Although the handwriting on the inscriptions belongs to the same person, there are significant stylistic differences among the various pieces which perhaps suggests more than one painter worked on the set.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Guido Durantino","id":"A20480"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":"workshop of"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Tin-glazed earthenware","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Maiolica","id":"THES49023"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AT6284","2008BU7092"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"62","id":"THES49739"},"free":"","case":"CA12","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Dish","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Urbino","id":"x33375"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1535","earliest":"1535-01-01","latest":"1535-12-31"},"association":{"text":"dated","id":"AAT54714"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"C.2243-1910","id":"O158401"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"Bequeathed by Mr R.
