EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph print captures a platter adorned with figures in the rockery style, hailing from Rouen in 1870. The plate showcases a bucolic scene reminiscent of 18th-century painters, featuring dancers and musicians. Its polychrome design exudes an ornate and decorative charm that pays homage to the artistic traditions of its time. The illustration was created by Emilie Pottier and is part of Andre Pottiers' "Histoire de la Faience de Rouen" published in Auguste le Brument's book in 1870. This piece offers a glimpse into the rich history of ceramic artistry prevalent during this period. The attention to detail is evident as each figure on the platter comes alive with color and movement, transporting viewers back to an era steeped in elegance and refinement. The lithographic technique used adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing the overall visual appeal. This print, housed within a private collection, serves as both a testament to past craftsmanship and an exquisite work of art itself. It stands as a reminder of how ceramics were not only functional objects but also vessels for storytelling through intricate designs. Bridgeman Images has preserved this stunning representation of historical ceramic artistry for all enthusiasts to admire.
