EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print depicts a collection of plates decorated with playful cupids and intricate foliage, all set against the backdrop of a mythical sea monster. The plates, with their delicate blue and gold accents, are reminiscent of the fine porcelain and pottery produced in Rouen, France during the 19th century. Hand-finished by the renowned Ris Paquot, this lithograph is an exquisite example of the artistic detail and masterful craftsmanship that characterized the General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery. The image showcases the fusion of classical motifs, such as the mischievous cupids, with the natural beauty of the sea monster and foliage. The sea monster, with its winding tentacles and swirling waves, adds an element of whimsy and enchantment to the scene. The foliage, with its lush greenery and vibrant colors, provides a striking contrast to the bold blue and gold hues of the plates. This print is not only a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Rouen, France, but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of mythical creatures and classical motifs in decorative arts. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this hand-finished chromolithograph make it a truly unique and captivating piece of art.
