BACKGROUND TRIVIA !!! One last example of Reinassance's decorative food carving, in this case applied to fish. The drawing in the upper part of this page shows a special implement for holding the fish while carving it. The lower image records a specific decorative pattern, made by cutting away some of the fish skin to create designs in the alternation of skin and flesh. This kind of fish presentation has come down to the present almost unchanged.
To put this techniques in the proper context, consider that sugar and ice
table sculptures were also developed in this period, and to a level which
must have been far beyond anything since, for these sculptures were done
by some of the most famous artists of the late Renaissance. At the splendid
wedding of Maria de' Medici to the future Henry IV of France, in Florence's
Pitti Palace, the design for the entire banquet was supervised by Buontalenti
and the sugar sculptures were done by Giambologna and Tacca! One weeps at
the thought of what these artists must have created in such perishable materials...
