Abstract (en)

Studies a tin-glazed earthenware dish painted with a scene probably representing the childhood of Aeneas within a border of grotesques on a dark blue ground, likely made in Faenza ca.1525-1535. The central group derives from Michelangelo's Zorobabel spandrel fresco in the Sistine Chapel (Vatican). Since no sufficiently early engraving of this portion of the Sistine ceiling is known, it would seem that the group of figures on the dish at Waddesdon must have been copied from a drawing done from the original fresco.
