SUBJECT
The depiction of the Virgin and Child has always been a subject dear to the history of Western Art. Particularly in the Florentine Renaissance, thanks to artists such as the Della Robbia, great interpreters of the artistic working of terracotta.
THE MATERIAL.
Terracotta consists of a clay mixture that is fired at a temperature of 980-990° C. The typical reddish color is due to the conspicuous presence of iron substances. Resistant to frost, heat, thermal changes and brackish, over time it becomes almost a unique element with the surrounding natural environment. In fact, it is not uncommon for lichens and moss to settle on the surface, creating different textures and designs, which will make each object a unique, exclusive and personal piece.
These characteristics make terracotta ideal for decorating and furnishing outdoor environments. Its use in interiors has traditionally been associated with a rustic, retro flavor, but it is making a comeback in innovative and designer designs.
Prestigious names in contemporary architecture and art are rediscovering the value, even symbolic, of an ancient material that brings together water and earth, sustainability and the desire for innovation. Thanks to the rediscovery of all natural materials, which respect the environment and enhance it, modern design revisits traditional elements and gives new life to terracotta, in the architectural, landscape and artistic fields.
