The Large Long Villa Médicis Platter takes its oval shape from the Roman hippodrome, elongated and deep, with a wide border framing a plain white well. Ancient versions of this form carried portraits and coloured arabesques across that border; here, the same wide margin is left plain, so the shape itself, rather than any decoration, does the work.
Part of the Villa Médicis Collection, made in partnership with the Académie de France in Rome, based at the Villa Médicis.
Dimensions: 46.5 × 23.5 × 4.5cm.
