A rare Suite of 6 Panneaux with Chinoiserie in Blue on a Gold Ground
Lot-No. 612
Proceeds : 10.100 €
France. Mid 18th cent. Oil/canvas. 4 panneaux: 197 x 87 cm, 2 panneaux: 197 x 98 cm. As an addition a defective panneau broken in the centre: 198 x 98 cm. Matching framed. Rest. The four large panneaux each show figurative Chinese scenes on landscape islands in two rocaille-framed fields, the two narrow panneaux each show a Chinese figure in a rocaille frame. The motifs are probably based on designs by the French painter and graphic artist Jean-Baptiste Pillement (Lyon 1728-1808), who, as a 'chinoiseur rococo', contributed to the spread of the 'goût chinois' in Europe by subtly combining elements of the rocaille style with those of the chinoiserie in his work -
