Gobelins weaving, France, 18th century, (1898). Creator: Unknown
Gobelins weaving, France, 18th century, (1898). Fig 1: Chair-seat by Louis Tessier, Louis XV [c1715-1774]. Fig 2: Basket of fruit by the same Artist, Louis XV. Fig 3: Garland of fruit by the same Artist (Louis XV.). Fig 4: Chair-Back by Jacques, Louis XVI [c1774-1792]. Fig 5: Doorpanel by this Artist, Louis XVI. Drawn by W. Vivien, Paris...It is no wonder, therefore, that in the ensuing period under Louis XV and XVI Artists such as Watteau, Boucher, Tessier, Jacques and others should have taken up the work, or that they were certain of a triumph in the pursuit of a special department of art. For instance, if we observe the tasteful manner in which Tessier, the king s-flower painter, could group his flowers and fruit in characteristic garlands, and bouquets, we shall not hesitate to reckon him one of the finest flower-painters of the French school. The details here represented, from important works by this master, give some idea of his marked ability. Plate 82b from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite art of Gobelins weaving in 18th century France. Created by an unknown artist in 1898, it offers a glimpse into the remarkable talent and craftsmanship of renowned artists from that era. The print features five distinct figures, each representing a masterpiece by different artists. Fig 1 displays a chair-seat designed by Louis Tessier during the reign of Louis XV (c1715-1774). It exudes elegance and sophistication with its intricate patterns and luxurious fabric. Fig 2 presents a basket of fruit also crafted by Louis Tessier, showcasing his mastery in depicting nature's bounty. The lifelike depiction of fruits is truly awe-inspiring. Moving on to Fig 3, we encounter a garland of fruit again created by Louis XV himself. This piece exemplifies his ability to create harmonious compositions using various elements from nature. Fig 4 introduces us to Jacques, an artist who flourished under the rule of Louis XVI (c1774-1792). His chair-back design exhibits refined details and impeccable craftsmanship. Lastly, Fig 5 unveils another creation by Jacques - a door panel displaying his artistic prowess even in architectural elements. These extraordinary works highlight why artists like Watteau, Boucher, Tessier, Jacques were celebrated during this period. Their dedication to their craft resulted in triumphs within their respective fields. In particular, Tessier's skillful arrangement of flowers and fruits solidified him as one of the finest flower-painters within the French school. Plate 82b from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from H. Dolmetsch's German work provides valuable insight into these masterpieces' significance and showcases their enduring beauty for generations to appreciate.
