Atalanta's Race against Hippomenes. On the right, King Schoenius sits on a stool with two attendants standing behind him. Hippomenes and another youth race towards him from the left, while Atalanta stoops to pick up a golden apple thrown down by Hippomenes. In the landscape background are a castle, two smaller buildings and a bridge, a clump of trees, and distant mountains. Here and there on the grass there are pebbles and plants with one four-petalled flower. In the foreground there is a cartouche containing a kite-shaped shield charged with the arms or, a griffin segreant to sinister sable, in chief an inverted label of four points gules (shown orange) with three barrels (?) gules (shown orange) above. The edge of the plate is yellow. The back is inscribed in the middle in dark blue, `MD/XXX/IIII/>B<M'. The rest is decorated with orange scale pattern over wide zones of yellow, reserved white and yellow, with four narrow concentric orange bands round the base and the outer edge.no cataloguereferenceexhibition-1605adlib-exhibition-160504d3c358-0bef-3d8f-8df5-14f16987ac1bItalian Maiolica in the Fitzwilliam MuseumEC.23-19391accession numberEC.23-193980701priref80701urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/80701https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/80701on basepainted in dark blueM D/XXX/III/>B<Minscriptionreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumPurchased with the Glaisher Fundreferenceagent-150858adlib-agent-150858d36d1847-4d6a-33eb-974b-f4b061db49f9Sotheby's193919391939boughtEntry date: 1939-071534CE1534dated1534painterreferenceagent-84344adlib-agent-84344d085bd64-49dd-3a46-a8a6-99b5440ec47eManara, Baldassarepotteryreferenceagent-149652adlib-agent-1496520d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98UnknownThe story of how Hippomenes won Atalanta's hand in marriage by defeating her in a race is told in the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses, X, 560-680.The scene on the dish was partly adapted from the woodcut entitled 'DE HIPPOMENE ET ATALANTA' in Tutti gli libri de Ouidio Metamorphoseos tradutti dal litteral in uerso vulgar con le sue Allegorie in prosa, Venice (Niccolo Zoppino and Vincenzo di Polo (Giacomo da Lecco)), 1522. The two figures standing behind the King were probably after figures on the extreme right of the print of Parnassus by Marcantonio Raimondi after Raphael.referenceterm-106602adlib-term-106602bbb4c00f-eefa-3d64-9441-7a75aa07736e16th Centuryreferenceterm-10618adlib-term-106189ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136Renaissancereferenceterm-108597adlib-term-1085973730ea9f-6a64-338b-bdbd-0662bf55b8d2literalItalyItalycountryliteralEmilia-RomagnaEmilia-RomagnaregionFaenzareferenceterm-39575adlib-term-39575cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4abtin-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDiametercm22.8Heightcm2.7referencemedia-52919adlib-media-52919e3f350c3-a571-3d1f-bc6d-fc6b27989158jpegaa/aa19/EC_23_1939.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels73416162826428111imagejpegaa/aa19/mid_EC_23_1939.jpg1heightpixels518widthpixels50016162826428111imagejpegaa/aa19/EC_23_1939.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels73416162826428111imagejpegaa/aa19/preview_EC_23_1939.jpg1heightpixels259widthpixels25016162826428111image0media
