Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shapely Bodies: The Image of Porcelain in Eighteenth-Century France constructs the first cultural history of porcelain making in France. It takes its title from two types of “bodies” treated in this study: the craft of porcelain making shaped clods of earth into a clay body to produce high-end commodities and the French elite shaped human bodies into social subjects with the help of makeup, stylish patterns, and accessories. These practices crossed paths in the work of artisans, whose luxury objects reflected and also influenced the curves of fashion in the eighteenth century. French artisans began trials to reproduce fine Chinese porcelain in the 1660s. The challenge proved impossible until they found an essential ingredient, kaolin, in French soil in the 1760s. Shapely Bodies differs from other studies of French porcelain in that it does not begin in the 1760s at the Sèvres manufactory when it became technically possible to produce fine porcelain in France, but instead ends there. Without the secret of Chinese porcelain, artisans in France turned to radical forms of experimentation. Over the first half of the eighteenth century, they invented artificial alternatives to Chinese porcelain, decorated them with French style, and, with equal determination, shaped an identity for their new trade that distanced it from traditional guild-crafts and aligned it with scientific invention. The back story of porcelain making before kaolin provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of artisanal innovation and cultural mythmaking. To write artificial porcelain into a history of “real” porcelain dominated by China, Japan, and Meissen in Saxony, French porcelainiers learned to describe their new commodity in language that tapped into national pride and the mythic power of French savoir faire. Artificial porcelain cut such a fashionable image that by the mid-eighteenth century, Louis XV appropriated it for the glory of the crown. When the monarchy ended, revolutionaries reclaimed French porcelain, the fruit of a century of artisanal labor, for the Republic. Tracking how the porcelain arts were depicted in documents and visual arts during one hundred years of experimentation, Shapely Bodies reveals the politics behind the making of French porcelain’s image.

Download or read book The Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory written by Beatrice Pannequin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tumultuous years of the French Revolution left France’s prestigious decorative arts industries poised on the brink of ruin. It was not until after the fall of the monarchy and the ascendancy of the Consulat and Empire under Napoleon that they began to recover so that by the middle of the nineteenth century they stood at the pinnacle of their achievement. This book is the first in depth study of the renowned porcelain works at Sèvres during its virtual rebirth under the 47 year direction of the scientist, teacher, and administrator Alexandre Brongniart. Some 110 working drawings from the Sèvres Archive are reproduced here for the first time in color. They celebrate the high skill of the artists whose work often documented contemporary events in France. There are table services in the 'Egyptian' and 'Etruscan' taste as well as individual pieces that recall Napoleonic military campaigns. There are also exquisite Neoclassical decorations using motifs such as birds, butterflies, and insects that reflect the century’s early fascination with the natural sciences. The repertoire of nineteenth century eclecticism is evident in the output of Sèvres from the revival of Gothic and renaissance motifs to the outburst of naturalism. Eleven essays by leading authorities assess this dynamic period.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the eighteenth century, France was a place of intense scientific enquiry and innovative research. One of the most exciting discoveries of the period was the successful manufacture of porcelain. Known as 'white gold', porcelain was produced for use in all aspects of fashionable public and private life; from banquets to boudoirs, from tea drinking to the toilette. Of all the factories in France, the most renowned was the Royal Porcelain Manufacture at Sevres. The protection of Louis XV and the patronage of his mistress, Madame de Pompadour, drew to Sevres the best alchemists, designers and artists in Europe. The porcelain they produced was unequalled in quality, design and decoration. French Porcelain explores this extraordinary period through the V+A's own superb collection.

Excerpt: ...manufacture of the most sumptuous "garnitures " for the palace of Louveciennes, and on the production in "biscuit" of the famous bust of Madame Dubarry, modelled by Pajou. Although Marie-Antoinette was immediately interested in the productions of the factor', she had no direct influence upon it until after her coronation in 1774. Yet she soon became a patroness of Sevres for, from 1771 to 1774, part of the personnel was employed in making, for her, furniture and garnitures of all kinds analogous to, or identical with, those which had been made for the Dubarry. The director of the works, who was a good courtier, had already produced in 1772 a "biscuit" group, modelled by Pajou, and called " The Marriage of Louis XVI." In this group the Dauphin is on the left, the Dauphiness on the right, clasping their hands on a kind of altar surmounted by a globe ornamented with "fleurs-de-lys." The front of the altar had the inscription "Au bonheur public" while the pedestal bore, in low relief, garlands of flowers, and a royal monogram composed of the initials "L." and "A." intertwined. About 1773, the sculptor Pajou made a bust of MarieAntoinette in which, while we cannot but admire the regal attitude of the daughter of an empress and the wife of a mighty prince, we are still more charmed by the juvenile freshness and grace of the woman, the beauty of her features, and the arrangement of her hair. In this model Pajou certainly produced one of the finest works of the eighteenth century, and it seems like the irony of fate that it can only be compared with the busts of the Dubarry produced by the same sculptor. In the Petit Trianon an example of this bust, doubtless made at...
