Piastrella con Pavone 

Galileo Chini created "Piastrella con Pavone," a tile featuring a peacock, employing decorative motifs in a square format with a circular design. The composition is dominated by curvilinear forms, with the peacock’s body and plumage arranged in a spiraling pattern. The neutral palette, punctuated by earth tones, enhances the textural complexity achieved through the application of paint. Chini's construction engages with the visual language of Art Nouveau, a style known for its organic and flowing lines. He uses the peacock not just as a symbol of beauty but as a structural element that organizes the visual space. The peacock’s arrangement, contained within a geometrical shape, presents a play between the natural and the constructed, challenging the boundaries of decorative art. This tension invites reflection on the ways nature is represented and stylized within artistic frameworks.
