• Resumen

  • This article adopts a single point of view of art history. The elegant majolica produced at the end of the 17th century in the workshop of Carlo Antonio Grue (1655-1723), as well as those preserved in the "museum" of the Cardinal Filippo Antonio Gualtieri (1660-1728) acted as the extremely sensitive developers of the concomitant dynamics that are at work in history and in art. Unfolding in the background was the creation, in 1690, of the Accademia dell'Arcadia, a literary circle where intense rhetorical thought was formed. The close relations joining the artists together oriented their choice, nourishing the political and cultural debate on a European scale and contributed to the birth of modern and up to date taste. Taste that then dictated the programs of interior arrangement as well as the choice of paintings and of objects of art.
