17th century Italian vase with black tourmaline and crystals on a petrified wood base. The tourmaline and crystals have been applied to the fragment vase and mimic the texture and color of the painted distressed fragment.
This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966 and has been naturally distressed from the flood.
This piece is part of The Florence Fragment Collection which exhibited with the Museo de’ Medici this past autumn. The Museo de' Medici or “the Medici Museum” is located in the monumental Rotonda Brunelleschi which was designed in 1432 and built by Filippo Brunelleschi, a famous Italian architect who also built the Florence dome. He is also considered a founding father of Renaissance architecture. The Museo de’ Medici is devoted to preserving the history of the Medici family and exhibiting precious collections of works of art, historical relics, original documents, faithful reconstructions and multimedia installations.
“I was honored to present this collection with the Museo de’ Medici with the city where the pieces found their origin and precious history,” says Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and founder of Interi. “This collection is to honor the history of Florence and to show the beauty and resilience the city holds. It is the birthplace of the renaissance and this collection pays tribute to the rebirth after the flood.”
While many fragments are distressed due to age, these Florence fragments in particular stand apart. They symbolize a history that has been carried through the flood, to the Italian store house, collected and transformed in the Interi studio, shown in the museum, and now can be purchased for the modern home or gallery.
