In the
late 15th century the monastery of San Paolo had a small
shrine or chapel located in it's gardens. The abbess, Maria
de Benedetti, commissioned several ceramic artists to create
a magnificent floor for this chapel consisting of 264 hand
painted majolica tiles. The tiles featured images of human
figures, still life, decorative motifs and animals.
To do
justice to this magnificent artwork we have created a tile
that mimics masonry that is hundreds of years old. Each tile
is made by hand and dated. |
