"Motier Gilbert du: A Journey Through 18th Century Art and Pottery" Step into the world of Motier Gilbert du, a captivating figure from the 18th century. This enigmatic individual is brought to life through various artistic representations, each unveiling a different facet of his intriguing persona. Caricature and hidden silhouette portrayals showcase Motier alongside Lafayette and other prominent figures of the era. These whimsical artworks offer a glimpse into their lives, capturing both their essence and the spirit of the times. In Tableaux historique, created by Charles Francois Gabriel Levachez between 1798-1804, we find Deputy State General of Auvergne - Gilbert Mottier Lafayette himself. The painting immortalizes his presence in history as he stands tall with an air of authority. Moving beyond paintings, our journey takes us to exquisite pottery pieces that tell tales from this remarkable period. Enoch Wood & Sons' Cup and Saucer from 1825/30 showcases intricate designs that transport us back in time. Similarly, an ornate Mug from 1810/50 invites us to imagine sipping tea or coffee while immersed in conversations about politics or art. The Sugar Bowl and Creamer (1820/50), Cup and Saucer (c. 1825), Platter (1824/36), Vase (c. 1850), Bowl (1825/30), Coffee Pot (1825/30), Tureen (1825/30) – all these creations bear witness to the craftsmanship prevalent during this era. Each piece carries its own unique story within its delicate contours. As we admire these artifacts, we can't help but wonder about Motier's connection to them – did he enjoy his morning coffee from one such cup? Did he use these elegant vessels for grand dinners at his estate? The answers remain elusive yet tantalizingly close. Motier Gilbert du remains shrouded in mystery, his life and adventures hidden within the folds of history.
