One of the most innovative ceramicists of the Renaissance, Bernard Palissy (1510-1589) created a body of marvelous rustic earthenware full of color, botanical nuance, and an unusual bestiary of reptiles, amphibians, fish, and seashells. His life (and death, in the Bastille) is explored in this thoroughly researched volume, much of it offering original research previously unpublished.
