Through meticulously researched case studies, this book explores the materiality of terracotta sculpture in early modern Europe. Chapters present a broad geographical perspective showcasing examples of modelling, firing, painting, and gilding of clay in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. The volume considers known artworks by celebrated artists, such as Luca della Robbia, Andrea del Verrocchio, Filipe Hodart, or Hans Reichle, in parallel with several lesser-studied terracotta sculptures and tin-glazed earthenware made by anonymous artisans. This book challenges arbitrary distinctions into the fine art and the applied arts, that obscured the image of artistic production in the early modern world. The centrality of clay in the creative processes of artists working with two- and three-dimensional artefacts comes to the fore. The role of terracotta figures in religious practices, as well as processes of material substitutions or mimesis, confirm the medium's significance for European visual and material culture in general. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and material culture.

Summary: L'artisanat de la terre cuite aux XIVe-XVIe siècles connaît une transformation de ses modes de production et un enrichissement significatif du vaisselier céramique, accompagnant l'émergence de hameaux ou de villages spécialisés dans la fabrication de terres cuites et de grès. S'appuyant sur une utilisation conjointe de sources archéologiques, archéométriques et textuelles, cette table ronde évoque d'abord les questions relatives à la définition des ateliers, à leurs productions et aux contextes de leur implantation, avant de s'attarder sur la circulation - en particulier entre de continent et les îles Britanniques - et l'utilisation des terres cuites.
