The Aldobrandini Tazze is name for a collection of twelve 16th-century silver-gilt standing tazze or cups with matching figures of each of the first twelves Roman Caesars. They are likely of Netherlandish origin[1] though the precise artist or artists are unknown. The cups each have four scenes from the lives of each Caesar drawn from the Twelve Caesars by the Roman author Suetonius.[2] The figures are over 30 cm (one foot) tall. They are called the Aldobrandini Tazze after the Aldobrandini family, an early owner of the tazze.[3]
The 16th century collection was dispersed in the 19th century with the figures and dishes being mismatched and separated among different collections and owners.[2] On December 12, 2017, the entire set was displayed for the first time since the mid-nineteenth century in an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City entitled The Silver Caesars: A Renaissance Mystery.[1][3][4]
