About the Item
Cantagalli-manufactured ceramics measuring 125 x 67 cm depicting a sweet Madonna adoring the Child Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Ulisse Cantagalli started an artistic production of ceramics, adding it to his kiln along the Via Senese in Florence that produced raw material for construction.
Ulisse, who was born in Florence on June 18, 1839 to Giuseppe and Flavia Franceschi, ran the company from 1872 and in 1878 hired an employed painter to become a skilled majolica decorator. By 1885, the company was already a highly regarded manufacture of artistic majolica, and the former painter, now director of works, employed around 30 painters and decorators (Corona) in addition to his two sons. Ulysses died on March 29, 1901 in Cairo, where he had traveled for health reasons.
At the Milan Industrial Exhibition of 1881, the Manifattura Figli [Ulisse and Romeo] di Giuseppe Cantagalli of Florence, which proved to be one of the leading manufacturers of ornamental majolica, was awarded a gold medal 'for the merit of the many good style reproductions, as well as for the important attempt to solve the problem of producing objects with an artistic character at prices so low as to make them accessible to the generality of buyers'. Other honors followed at exhibitions in Antwerp, Paris and London.
The production approach, based on the imitation of ancient styles (Persian, Hispano-Moorish, Italian Renaissance and Della Robbia garments) and on the modest prices that facilitated sales and spread the taste for majolica, brought the company great success, the conquest of the Italian market, and the opportunity to make a name for itself in many parts of Europe, America and the Orient.
In order to achieve a good stylistic and qualitative level, Ulysses had personally studied 15th- and 16th-century specimens also by traveling abroad. He had also studied the ancient methods of preparing soils, coatings, colors and firing, and had patiently trained the workers: modellers and painters had been sent to study the works preserved in the museums of Arezzo, Pesaro, Loreto and other cities, as well as Florence. He had also maintained constant contact with foreign scholars, such as the English C.D.E. Fortnum and H. Wallis, and the Germans J. Lessing and W. von Bode.

"At that time I asked the Lord Jesus: 'For whom do I still have to pray?'. Jesus answered me that the following night he would make me known for whom I had to pray. I saw the Custodian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. At a moment I found myself in a foggy place, invaded by fire and, in it, a huge crowd of suffering souls. These souls pray with great fervour, but without effectiveness for themselves: only we can help them. The flames that burned them, they did not touch me. My Guardian Angel did not abandon me for a moment. And I asked those souls what their greatest torment was. And they unanimously answered me that their greatest torment is the ardent desire of God. I read the Madonna who visited the souls of Purgatory. The souls call Mary 'Star of the Sea'. She brings them refreshment ".
(Diary of Sister Faustina Kowalska p. 11)
A Polish religious, Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) reinterpreted in the pages of her testimony the ancient role of the Virgin as savior and supporter of the souls of Purgatory. The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council established that, assumed into Heaven, the Mother of God should operate a continuous intercession in favor of those children waiting for Paradise who were in the place, quoted for the first time by Pope Gregory the Great...
