Olivier Gabet Majolica Publication

Round dish coat of arms, Anonymous, 1500-1525, ceramic, Louvre Museum

American Friends of the Louvre supported the publication of a catalogue by Olivier Gabet, Director of the Department of Decorative Arts at the Louvre Museum, on Majolica ceramics in the Louvre’s collection. This important scholarly work is providing an in-depth exploration of the museum’s remarkable collection of Renaissance Italian ceramics, offering new insights into their history, craftsmanship, and cultural significance.

This project has been made possible through the generous support of longtime AFL patrons Hubert and Mireille Goldschmidt. Their contribution ensures that this publication will serve as a vital resource for scholars, students, and art enthusiasts around the world, and further appreciation for this extraordinary collection.
