Tin-glazed earthenware, maiolica, is a supremely pictorial ceramic form. Italian potters, developing technology learnt from the Islamic world, created an art which in its brilliant colours, range of subjects, and links to the other arts richly reflects the culture of Renaissance Italy.  The MAK Collection, rooted in the historic Habsburg Schatzkammern, is one of the most fascinating but least-known in the world. This book, recording an exhibition including spectacular loans from Austria and Germany, is a comprehensive survey of the subject.  The catalogue author, Timothy Wilson, formerly Keeper of Western Art, Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, is an internationally-renowned specialist. The volume also includes contextualizing essays by Rainald Franz, Michael Göbl, and Nikolaus Hofer. TIN-GLAZE AND IMAGE CULTURE: The MAK Maiolica Collection in Its Wider Context (MAK Studies 28), edited by Lilli Hollein, Rainald Franz, and Timothy Wilson, with contributions by Rainald Franz, Michael Göbl, Nikolaus Hofer, Lilli Hollein, and Timothy Wilson. English, 288 pages with numerous color illustrations. MAK, Vienna/arnoldsche Art Publishers, Stuttgart 2022.
