Catalogo monografico pubblicato in occasione della mostra allestita al Museo Stibbert di Firenze dal 30 settembre 2011 al 15 aprile 2012. Con la sua enfasi sulla rinascita di temi del passato, il volume richiama l’ispirazione originale del collezionista e mecenate Frederick Stibbert nella creazione del museo.

The volume has been published in occasion of the exhibition held at Museo Stibbert, Firenze from 30th September 2011 to 15th April 2012. With its emphasis on the resurgence of themes from the past, the book shares the ideals of Frederick Stibbert, collector and patron of arts, in the creation of his museum. The catalogue brings together a rich and varied collection of Florentine maiolica from the second half of the nineteenth century, from the Doccia manufactory and that of Cantagalli. It includes small pieces interesting from the point of view of technique, and large monumental works also of great beauty. Many are unpublished and come from private collections, whilst others have been lent by illustrious institutions overseas. Of particular importance is the documentation from the Cantagalli archives, preserved at the Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza, which has now been computerized for the first time and has been made available for research.
