Abstract (en)

Argues this group of jars was probably made in Naples at the end of the 15th c.; and pursuing Donatone's argument that the albarelli portraits represent leading figures at the Neapolitan court, proposes identifications of the subjects of some portraits (Lorenzo the Magnificent, Charles VIII, and Virgilio Orsini).
