Florence, XVII Century

Pair of polychrome scagliola plaques of Florentine manufacture from the 17th century, depicting parrots perched on branches of leaves and fruit resting on a portion of soil, one of which is enriched by small plants with flowers. A parrot is intent on detaching a cherry from the tree with its beak. One plaque has been restored. The two plaques are placed within contemporary moulded frames in gilded wood. Already during the second half of the 18th century there are testimonies regarding the admirable Tuscan scagliola works, among which we remember that of the famous naturalist Targioni Tozzetti, who states that this art had flourished for about two centuries "and in the houses of Florence you can see beautiful tables, paintings and cabinets...". This attestation demonstrates both the variety of objects of a profane nature, and their early diffusion in the context of private furnishings in the Tuscan area. This phenomenon appears to be contemporary with the maximum diffusion of the Carpi scagliola, a tradition which however seems to be more attributable to the ecclesiastical sphere with a large production of altar frontals.
