Piatto in ceramica di Antonio Corrado (Nevers 1604 – Nevers 1648)
Piatto in maiolica blu a sfondo bianco. Nevers prima metà del XVII secolo.
Diametro cm 28 (senza cornice).
Cornice francese coeva in legno con decorazioni.
Il capostipite dei ceramisti Corrado fu Bernardo, il quale cominciò a operare nella prima metà del ‘500 e la cui fabbrica produsse fino alla seconda metà del ‘700.
Domenico Corrado, figlio di Bernardo, intorno al 1570 si trasferì a Nevers al seguito di Luigi Gonzaga di Mantova, diventato duca di Nevers nel 1565. Nel 1578 gli venne concessa da Enrico III la naturalizzazione francese ed egli francesizzò il cognome in Conrado (o Conrade). Unitamente ai fratelli Battista e Agostino, agli inizi del 1580, fondò la prima manifattura di maioliche.
Antonio, figlio di Domenico, nacque nel 1604. Intrapresa la carriera militare, l’abbandonò per assumere la direzione della fabbrica paterna. Anch’egli ottenne numerosi riconoscimenti di cui si ritrovano testimonianze in un atto del 5 febbraio 1634 “maître potier en vaisselle de faïence” e in uno del 27 maggio 1643, nel quale è citato come “marchand faïencier” e come “noble Anthoine de Conrade”. Nel 1644 fu nominato “gentilhomme servant” e “faïencier ordinaire et gendarme de la Reine” e infine “gentilhomme et faïencier de la Maison du Roi, brigadier de la compagnie des chevau-légers de la Reyne”, il 9 marzo 1645. Dal suo matrimonio con Catherine Rousseau nacquero sei figli. Morì nel 1648.

Wall plate - Pottery - Ceramic plate
Ceramic plate by Antonio Corrado (Nevers 1604 – Nevers 1648)
Blue maiolica plate on a white background. Nevers, first half of the 17th century.
Diameter 28 cm (without frame).
Contemporary French cornice in wood with decorations.
The patriarch of the ceramicists, Corrado, was Bernardo, who began operating in the first half of the 1500s and whose factory produced until the second half of the 1700s.
Domenico Corrado, son of Bernardo, around 1570 moved to Nevers following Luigi Gonzaga of Mantua, who became duke of Nevers in 1565. In 1578, he was granted French naturalization by Henry III and he Frenchified his surname to Conrado (or Conrade). Together with his brothers Battista and Agostino, in the early 1580s, he founded the first manufacture of majolica.
Antonio, son of Domenico, was born in 1604. He embarked on a military career, but abandoned it to take over his father's factory. He also received numerous recognitions, evidenced by a document from February 5, 1634, as "master potter in earthenware", and another from May 27, 1643, in which he is referenced as "merchant earthenware maker" and as "noble Anthoine de Conrade". In 1644, he was appointed "gentleman servant" and "ordinary earthenware maker and gendarme of the Queen", and finally "gentleman and earthenware maker of the King's House, brigadier of the company of horse guards of the Queen", on March 9, 1645. From his marriage to Catherine Rousseau, six children were born. He died in 1648.
In images 7 and 8, there is the cataloging of the ceramic artifacts by Antonio Corrado, carried out by the Museum of Mondovì.
