Antique Ceramics of Palissy - Widescreen Screensaver Description

Bernard Palissy (1499 - 1590) was a French artist, potter, scientist, geologist, surveyor, lecturer, and philosopher. In 1538 he began a 16 year quest for a means of making ceramic pottery of the same quality as glazed Chinese porcelain. In doing so, he developed new techniques for producing enamels and colors in ceramics. His beautiful products were in high demand, and he was appointed in 1565 as "Inventor of Rustic Pottery to the King and the Queen Mother" which enabled him to work in Paris. Many of his items eventually came to the Louvre Museum in Paris. In 1862 Messr De Sauzay, the curator of the Louvre, commissioned a 21 x 15 inch print folio of Palissy's works, as well as some of his imitators.
