Description: Fornasetti plate in box with original brochure. Plate is in perfectly condition. Diameter: 10 inches x 1 inch high Mark: In white on a black square, Tema E Variazioni, a hand holding a pen, and Fornasetti Milano/Made in Italy with the pattern # above all located below a printed black and white eye. Reference: (http://www.fornasetti.com/en/story/temavariazioni/) The image that inspired Fornasetti to coin the title 'Tema e Variazioni', is the enigmatic face of a woman: the opera singer Lina Cavalieri. He found that now iconic face as he leafed through a 19th-century French magazine and became fascinated. Taking her as much as a muse and as a motif, he would return to Lina Cavalieri's face again and again throughout his career. The archetypal classic female features and enigmatic expression of Lina Cavalieri became Fornasetti's most frequently used template and upon which he based more than 350 variations.
