Fragile Visions: Vedutismo, capricci and genre scenes in ceramics from the 17th to 19th centuries

Alongside the realistic vedutismo, imaginary or invented views, known as capricci, were also in demand, as well as genre scenes depicting everyday life. Raccanello & Leprince will be showing a selection of ceramics from the 17th to the 19th century exploring these themes.
