Majolica colours
Foremost among Majolica colours stand those of Urbino, the birthplace of Raphael. To Bramante (another citizen of Urbino) the world owes the original conception of St Peter's at Rome, in addition to his other works at Bologna and Milan. These colours are distinctive and have a quality of their own.
Another well known range of Majolica colours is that of Bernard Palissy, an enthusiast for fine colours, who became chief of the royal factory of porcelain in Paris in 1562. Palissy's fame does not rest on pottery alone, for he was a forecful and interesting writer.
