Museum Mondays





Various Della Robbia ceramics
Victoria & Albert Museum, London
November, 2019

I've seen many many Della Robia ceramics, in Italy and in museums outside Italy. I've had my moments of wondering whether the family's artistic output was the kitsch of the era, but I definitely don't know enough to say one way or the other. Regardless, they are gorgeous and I'd be happy to have some on the walls of my home, providing that the home was a nice palazzo. They'd look very out of place in my little craftsman bungalow.
