Download or read book French Rococo b nisterie in the J Paul Getty Museum written by Gillian Wilson and published by J. Paul Getty Museum. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive catalogue of the Getty Museum’s significant collection of French Rococo ébénisterie furniture. This catalogue focuses on French ébénisterie furniture in the Rococo style dating from 1735 to 1760. These splendid objects directly reflect the tastes of the Museum’s founder, J. Paul Getty, who started collecting in this area in 1938 and continued until his death in 1976. The Museum’s collection is particularly rich in examples created by the most talented cabinet masters then active in Paris, including Bernard van Risenburgh II (after 1696–ca. 1766), Jacques Dubois (1694–1763), and Jean-François Oeben (1721–1763). Working for members of the French royal family and aristocracy, these craftsmen excelled at producing veneered and marquetried pieces of furniture (tables, cabinets, and chests of drawers) fashionable for their lavish surfaces, refined gilt-bronze mounts, and elaborate design. These objects were renowned throughout Europe at a time when Paris was considered the capital of good taste. The entry on each work comprises both a curatorial section, with description and commentary, and a conservation report, with construction diagrams. An introduction by Anne-Lise Desmas traces the collection’s acquisition history, and two technical essays by Arlen Heginbotham present methodologies and findings on the analysis of gilt-bronze mounts and lacquer. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at www.getty.edu/publications/rococo/ and includes zoomable, high-resolution photography. Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book, and JPG downloads of the main catalogue images.

This book was released on 1996-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habité par tous les souverains, entre 1804 et 1870, le château de Fontainebleau a été entièrement remeublé, sur ordre de Napoléon Ier, après que les ventes révolutionnaires eurent dispersé le mobilier royal. Dès 1804, à l'occasion du séjour du Pape Pie VII à Fontainebleau, la manufacture de Sèvres a livré de nombreuses pièces de porcelaine - vases, objets de toilette, services de table - dont le nombre a été considérablement augmenté par Louis-Philippe, à l'occasion du mariage du duc d'Orléans en 1837, puis par Napoléon III, lors des séjours de la Cour. Les collections entrées entre 1804 et 1904 et celles qui sont sorties du château, permettent d'évoquer près d'un siècle de l'histoire de la manufacture de Sèvres dans ses différentes productions : porcelaines, terres vernissées, sculptures en biscuit, émaux et vitraux. Il s'agit, pour la plupart, de vases d'ornement et d'objets de toilette, les services de tables - payés sur la cassette des souverains - leur ayant été rendus après leur chute ; seules les assiettes du « service historique de Fontainebleau » sont toujours enchâssées dans les boiseries où Louis-Philippe les avait fait placer. La politique de restitution des états historiques a été à l'origine de la remise en place, dans les appartements, de la plupart des objets qui s'y trouvaient sous le premier Empire, la monarchie de Juillet ou le second Empire, et permet ainsi d'imaginer le décor dans lequel vécurent les souverains à Fontainebleau pendant tout le XIXe siècle.
