EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Vase made of soft-paste porcelain, adorned with intricate paint and gilt details. Standing at a height of 45.2 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The vase is attributed to the renowned artist Francois Boucher (1703-70), although it was likely decorated by Etienne-Jean Chabry. The vase's design features an array of mythological elements intertwined with laurel garlands and ornate scrolls. Its oblong shape is complemented by delicate handles and exquisite relief panels that depict scenes from ancient mythology. Nymphs, gods, and courting figures come to life on its surface, while blue de roi accents add depth and elegance. The white porcelain serves as a canvas for the richly detailed decorations that include letters from the alphabet and mythical symbols associated with Jupiter and King Neptune. Each reserve panel tells its own story within this decorative vessel. With its masterful craftsmanship and opulent aesthetic, this vase exemplifies the beauty of French ceramics during its time period. Acquired by Henry Walters himself, it stands as a testament to his discerning taste in art. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate the intricate artistry involved in creating such an ornamental piece that seamlessly blends mythology with fine craftsmanship.
