Figs 1-10: Decorations on Limoges-vessels (copper-enamelling), Fig 1 in private possession, Fig 2 from the Galerie d Apollon in the Louvre at Paris, Figs 3 and 4 in the Bavarian National Museum at Munich. Figs 11 and 12: Fayence gable-heads. Figs 13-18: Decorations on fayence vessels by Bernard Palissy, from the Musee du Louvre at Paris and in private possession. Figs 19 and 20: Borders on fayence plates from Rouen. Fig 21: Little Boule-chest in the Musee du Louvre at Paris...Among the fayence-painters of the 16th century Bernard Palissy, of whose works we give some specimens in Figs 13-18, was of great importance for French ornamentation. The decorations of his fayences...consist in brilliantly coloured reliefs of a warm and vigorous tone. He brought in fashion especially those plates, on which various animals of the water, earth and air are painted with remarkable fidelity to nature...his ornaments...are to be reckoned among the most graceful of French Renaissance. A century and a half after Palissy another artist attained a certain celebrity at the French court, viz Andre Charles Boule [Andre-Charles Boulle], cabinet-maker to King Louis XVI. He had a special skill in decorating objects of any kind with inlaid-work. From him marquetry composed of different metals, mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoise-shell, fine woods etc is commonly called Boule-Work, (Fig 21). Plate 67 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning collection of French Renaissance enamel on metal, pottery painting, and metal mosaic from 1898. The creator of these exquisite pieces remains unknown, but their craftsmanship speaks volumes about the artistry of the era. The photo features various decorations on Limoges-vessels (copper-enamelling), with Fig 1 being held in private possession and Fig 2 displayed at the Galerie d'Apollon in the Louvre at Paris. Figs 3 and 4 can be found at the Bavarian National Museum in Munich. Additionally, Figs 11 and 12 exhibit Fayence gable-heads, while Figs 13-18 showcase Bernard Palissy's remarkable fayence vessels from both Musee du Louvre in Paris and private collections. Bernard Palissy was an influential fayence-painter during the sixteenth century whose works are represented by Figs 13-18. His brilliantly colored reliefs depict animals with astonishing fidelity to nature, making his ornaments among the most graceful examples of French Renaissance art. Another notable artist mentioned is Andre Charles Boule (Andre-Charles Boulle), who gained fame as a cabinet-maker to King Louis XVI. Known for his exceptional skill in decorating objects through intricate inlaid-work, he popularized marquetry composed of different metals, mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoise-shell, fine woods - commonly referred to as Boule-Work. Plate 67 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from H. Dolmetsch's German work provides us with this glimpse into France's rich artistic heritage during this period. The photograph captures not only beautiful decorative pieces but also serves as a testament to the talent and creativity that flourished within French Renaissance artistry.
