Someone says "della Robbia", and you hear "Florentine glazed painted ceramics". This family gave the world a whole galaxy of notable maiolica masters. Vasari, indeed, directly names the eldest of the sculptors of the della Robbia family, Luca, of the fifteenth century, as the inventor of the technique of glazed painted terracotta. It is no surprise that for centuries the men of this family were the most famous masters of maiolica.

Before you are works from the façades of Florence, in the Bargello Museum, belonging to Andrea della Robbia, a representative of the second generation of the dynasty and nephew of Luca della Robbia. Andrea's works are very similar to Luca's original style. Mentioned in connection with the scene of the temptation is Giovanni della Robbia, one of his seven sons, of whom five in all became sculptors.
