EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Clock d Epoque Regence" by renowned artist Andre Charles Boulle. Measuring 70x83x18 cm, this ornate masterpiece is a true representation of the Baroque and Neoclassical era. The clock's face, adorned with intricate marquetry and gilt accents, takes center stage amidst a backdrop of darkness. The clock's design features allegorical figures in various states of undress, symbolizing the passage of time. The reclining female nude personifies Day while her male counterpart represents Night. Their torsion-like poses evoke Michelangelo's iconic sculptures, adding a touch of Renaissance influence to this neoclassical piece. Every detail on this clock exudes opulence and grandeur - from the meticulously crafted wooden sculpture to the elaborate gold decoration that adorns its surface. The fusion of bronze and ormolu further enhances its regal appearance. With its allegorical figures and decorative elements, this clock serves as both functional furniture and an artistic statement. It seamlessly blends classical aesthetics with contemporary design sensibilities. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of Boulle's work. Preserved in a private collection, it stands as a testament to his mastery as an artist during his lifetime (1642-1732). Thanks to eChristies Images for sharing this image from their archives; it allows us to appreciate Boulle's genius even today.
