Dating from the golden age of Italian Renaissance maiolica, circa 1490 to 1525, this exquisite plate—attributed to the master workshops of Deruta or possibly Gubbio—is a masterclass in early modern ceramic design. The composition features a central wading bird framed by stylized botanical elements, surrounded by a geometric border of rounded hills nestled within pointed arches and delicate floral motifs. This piece reflects the architectural precision and humanist appreciation for nature characteristic of the Classical era. Rendered with exceptional fidelity, this fine art reproduction preserves the rich glaze and historic patina of the original ceramic. Each format is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation, featuring a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring the historical integrity of the piece is maintained across all mediums.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
