EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Charger from around 1750, made of delicate porcelain by the Chinese School in the 18th century. Housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this piece exemplifies the flourishing trade between Europe and Asia during the 1700s. The plate itself is a testament to cultural exchange as it features an adaptation of a French print that was specifically created for the European market. The scene depicted on the charger tells a fable by Jean de La Fontaine, where a barrel-maker's wife engages in an affair while her husband diligently works. The fusion of Eastern craftsmanship with Western inspiration is evident in this artwork. It not only highlights China's mastery of ceramic production but also demonstrates their ability to cater to European tastes and preferences. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this charger serves as a window into history and literature. It reflects themes such as love, adultery, morality, and sexuality prevalent during the 17th and 18th centuries. Moreover, it underscores how art can transcend borders and time periods to convey universal human experiences. Bridgeman Images has impeccably captured this exquisite piece through their lens for Fine Art Finder viewers to appreciate its intricate details and rich historical significance.
