2008 Exhibition - A Journey in Maiolica: Italian Renaissance to American Contemporary more info
The latest exhibition at Caramoor's Rosen House features an array of fanciful scenes - a crowned goddess flanked by winged cherubs; serpents swarming in a turbulent sea; horned satyrs dancing in the forest; Adam and Eve tempted in the garden, and more - all depicted in vivid yellows, blues, greens, and beautiful ochre hues. These biblical, historical and mythological images, selected from the Museum's permanent collection, are all the more remarkable because they exist on the face of 16th-century Italian maiolica pottery. Also, of particular interest, is a set of twelve Catalan tiles from the 18th to the early 19th century, designed by Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) depicting whimsical musicians.
Both exhibitions are part of All Fired Up! A Celebration of Clay in Westchester, organized by the Westchester Arts Council and the Clay Art Center to explore the versatility of ceramics.
