Giovanni Della Robbia (1469 - 1529)

Giovanni della Robbia (1469-1529) war ein florentinischer Renaissance-Keramikkünstler, Sohn von Andrea della Robbia. Bekannt für polychrome Glasuren & Terrakotta-Skulpturen mit religiösen Szenen, Retabel und Brunnen.

The arms are those of Gianfigliazzi (a blue lion on a gold ground) impaling Adimari (gold over blue in equal parts), for Borgianni di Gherardo Gianfigliazzi and Caterina di Piero Adimari, who were married in Florence in 1509. Large, colored, weather-proof sculptural armorial compositions such as this were fixed onto the exterior or courtyard wall of the owner"s house.
