Escape from Egypt is an artwork belonging to Claudia Ciotti’s collection.

Claudia Ciotti, here has created a wonderful work inspired by a similar one performed by Vittore Carpaccio, sometimes also called Vittorio (about 1465 – Koper, 1525/1526), was an Italian painter, a citizen of the Republic of Venice.
He was one of the protagonists of the production of canvases in Venice at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, perhaps becoming the best witness of the life, customs, and extraordinary appearance of the Serenissima in those years. Like other great Italian masters of his generation (Perugino, Luca Signorelli, Andrea Mantegna himself), after a period of lavish success, he experienced a crisis shortly after the stroke of the sixteenth century due to the difficulties in assimilating the revolutionary and modern contributions of the new “great “(Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Giorgione, and Titian). He spent the last few years relegated to the provinces, where his now lingering style still found admirers.

Obviously, it is not a simple makeover, but the skill of an artisan-artist who knows how to retrace the wonders of the history of art, through absolutely different execution techniques. Here it is no longer the brushstroke on a canvas, but the one on refractory stone, which involves countless executive and design difficulties.
The artist intends to give those who know how to appreciate this artistic genre a unique work both for quality and realization.

Technique: entirely hand-painted ceramic on a refractory plate, with ceramic oxides and with polished pure gold finishes
