Blue Magic

"Blue Magic," created in the late 16th century AD, a stunning illustration of the artistic excellence found within the Medici collection.

This remarkable flask was crafted in the Grand-ducal workshop in Florence between 1583 and 1584, under the design of famed architect Bernardo Buontalenti (1531–1608), and features exquisite mounts by the renowned Flemish goldsmith, Jacques Bijlivert (1550-1603).

Standing at an impressive 16 inches (40.5cm), this captivating piece is carved from a single block of lapis lazuli.

From its inception, it has enchanted viewers with its otherworldly beauty and exceptional craftsmanship, showcasing the zenith of hardstone carving and goldsmithing artistry.

While the sculptor remains unknown, the work vividly reflects Buontalenti's innovative spirit, embodying the bold and expressive nature of Renaissance art.

The striking lapis lazuli is elegantly enhanced by exquisite gold and enamel fittings, meticulously designed by Bijlivert with unparalleled precision.

This seamless blend of hardstone, gold, and enamel elevates "Blue Magic" to one of the most exceptional treasures in the Medici treasury, representing the luxury, creativity, and unmatched artistic achievements of its time.

“Blue Magic", 16th century, Medici collection, Grand-ducal workshop, Florence, 1583-84

Design by Bernardo Buontalenti; mounts by Jacques Bijlivert (1550-1603)

Lapis lazuli; gold, enamel, and gilded-copper mounts; H. 16 in. (40.5 cm)

Since the sixteenth century this flask has been one of the most admired objects in the Medici collection, justly praised for its fantastic and elegant design as well as for its refined hardstone carving and goldsmith work. Carved from a monolithic block of lapis lazuli by an unknown sculptor working from a preliminary drawing by the architect Bernardo Buontalenti, it liberally and expressively interprets the academic tradition of Renaissance artistry. The carved stone was complemented with exquisite gold and enamel fittings made by the Flemish goldsmith Jacques Bijlivert. The result is one of the most spectacular treasury objects ever created.

Parece que a Marco Polo le tocó en sus viajes sufrir la experimentación gastronómica bien de cerca. En sus caminos por Oriente se hizo de los fideos y del helado, los llevó a su Venecia natal y los expandió por Italia de tal modo que se transformaron en dos productos falsamente originados allí. Según los antecedentes históricos el estreno del helado data de hace al menos 3.000 años y tuvo lugar en China. De hecho fue allí que los locales preparaban una especia de pasta a partir de leche de arroz mezclada con nieve para su mejor conservación. Los antecedentes marcan a éste como el helado más primitivo.

Luego de sus 20 años por la región, cuando Marco Polo volvió a Italia ya eran finales del siglo XIII. El epicentro italiano del helado era Florencia, cuando el arquitecto Bernardo Buontalenti (1531-1608) inventó el “gelato”, una precuela del helado, dándole un toque diferente al sorbete con el agregado de crema, una delicia que se popularizó en la corte de los Médici.

GELATO BUKAN ICE CREAM BIASA?

gelato adalah es krim khas dari negara Italia Nama gelato berasal dari bahasa Italia yang artinya "beku". Gelato terbuat dari bahan utama seperti susu, krim, dan gula. Kemudian diberi tambahan variasi rasa mulai dari buah-buahan, kacang, dan bahan perasa lainnya. Apabila dibandingkan dengan es krim pada umumnya, Gelato memiliki kandungan lemak yang lebih rendah. Gelato biasanya mengandung sedikit udara dan memiliki lebih banyak varian rasa daripada makanan penutup beku lainnya, memberikan kepadatan dan kekayaan rasa yang membedakannya daripada es krim lainnya. Gelato disajikan layaknya es krim pada umumnya, seperti dalam cup, kerucut, gelas, isian roti, kue, dan wadah lainnya 

Sejarah terciptanya Gelato penuh dengan mitos dan sangat sedikit bukti untuk membuktikannya. Diantaranya seperti di Mesir para Firaun (raja Mesir) menjamu para tamunya dengan menyajikan piala perak yang dibagi menjadi dua bagian: satu berisi salju, dan yang lainnya berisi jus buah. Selama periode  kekaisaran romawi,Jendral Quinto Fabio Massimo menulis resep pertama dari semacam gelato yang menjadi sangat populer. Dikatakan pula bahwa orang-orang Tianghoa mengajarkan pedagang Arab bagaimana menggabungkan sirup dan salju yang melahirkan versi pertama dari sorbetto, hidangan es dari campuran salju dan jus buah. Kemudian beberapa pedagang Arab datang ke Italia dan menunjukkan kepada penduduk Venesia dan Italia selatan bagaimana membuat kelezatan hidangan beku yang baru ini. Sejarah lainnya yaitu pada tahun 1565 yaitu Catherine De Meduci, putri dari satu keluarga bangsawan di Italia saat itu, menugaskan seorang arsitek dan seniman bernama Bernardo Bountalenti untuk mempersiapkan jamuan bagi Raja Spanyol. Dengan keahlian kuliner yang ia miliki, Buontalenti mengolah makanan pencuci mulut dari krim beku yang kemudian menjadi cikal bakal gelato. Sehingga nama Buontalenti dikenal sebagai penemu gelato.
