Renaissance Dream Vessels

English guided tour.

Ship-shaped drinking vessels and centrepieces are amongst the most remarkable artistic achievements in the realm of goldsmithing around 1600. These magnificent and richly detailed creations reflect not only the courtly and patrician dining culture of the time but also embody the era’s shipbuilding and maritime ventures. They serve as symbols of a period marked by globalisation and the onset of colonisation.
