EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print, titled "Vase with Animal Figures," showcases the timeless beauty and intricacy of the Chromolithograph by Gillot, an illustration by Edouard Garnier from The Soft Paste Porcelain of Sevres, Maison Quantin, Paris, 1891. The image captures a classical pastoral scene, with a grand vase adorned with an array of animal figures, each meticulously rendered in vibrant colors and intricate detail. The vase is graced with a regal cat perched atop, its elegant form and piercing gaze adding an air of sophistication to the piece. A playful dog frolics at the base, its joyful expression and energetic pose adding a lively contrast to the serene swan that glides gracefully along the vase's side. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of Cupid and Mercury, the former represented as a mischievous cherub with a bow and arrow, and the latter depicted as a nimble winged figure, symbolizing speed and agility. The Chromolithograph, a popular printmaking technique of the late 19th century, allows for the rich and vivid colors to pop, creating a stunning visual effect that brings the figures to life. The intricate details of the animal figures and the delicate porcelain-like texture of the vase are a testament to the masterful artistry of Edouard Garnier and the Maison Quantin. This print offers a glimpse into the historical significance of soft paste porcelain and the enduring appeal of the pastoral scene, making it a cherished addition to any collection of art, history, or antique decor.
