## Biography

Flaminio Fontana was part of an Italian family of potters. The workshop founder, Guido Durantino \(died c. 1576\), was established as a potter in Urbino by 1519 and by 1553 had adopted the name Fontana. His three sons, Nicolò Fontana \(died 1565\), Camillo Fontana \(died 1589\) and Orazio Fontana \(c. 1510-1576\), also took part in the business, as did Nicolò&#39;s son Flaminio Fontana. The workshop was one of the most influential in the area during the 16th century.
