The spread of Islamic ceramic and glass technologies into Europe made possible the groundbreaking art form that emerged from Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries. Italian ceramics and glass-called maiolica and cristallo-signify high points of Renaissance art production. They established taste and were prized by European courts and other collectors for 300 years. All this would not have been possible without the maiolica techniques of tin-glaze and luster that made their way from the Islamic world into Italy, mainly via North Africa and Spain, and the glass techniques of gilding and enameling that reached Italy primarily by way of Egypt and Byzantium. The spread of these new skills was accompanied by the diffusion of Islamic decoration and forms. The arrival in Italy of easily transportable objects such as textiles, carpets, metalwork, and ivories, as well as ceramics and glass, helped spread and popularize motifs and styles from the Islamic world. This exhibition of more than 40 objects is drawn from the Museum's collection as well as from the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
