19th century San Donato hand-painted Madonna tile. 4 1/4"W x 9 3/4"H x 3/4"D
San Donato Italian Ceramic tiles are reproductions of the beautiful tiles that cover the ceiling of The Church of San Donato in Castelli, Italy. San Donato owes its fame to the beautiful majolica ceiling which earned it the nickname "The Sistine Chapel of Majolica". The ceiling, made between 1615 and 1617, was composed of 780 tiles decorated with profiles, coats of arms, animals, astronomical symbols, floral patterns, and bright colors. Castelli is best known for its majolica, a form of decorative ceramic, which were collected by the nobility of Europe for centuries and which were at their pinnacle from the 16th through 18th century.
