EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-finished chromolithograph showcases a collection of plates decorated with musical scores and floral borders, a unique fusion of art and music from the historic city of Rouen, France. The centerpiece of this composition is a three-voice canon by the renowned 18th-century French composer Jean-Joseph de Mondonville. The intricate design encircles the musical score with delicate floral motifs, adding an elegant and harmonious touch. Jean-Joseph de Mondonville (1711-1772) was a celebrated composer of operas, cantatas, and chamber music during the Baroque period. His music was admired for its refined melodies and intricate counterpoint. The inclusion of his compositions on these plates is a testament to the high regard in which his work was held during this time. This chromolithograph is a masterpiece by Ris Paquot, published in his "Histoire Générale de la Poterie Ancienne Française et Étrangère," or "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," in Paris in 1874. Chromolithography, a color printing process that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowed for the mass production of detailed and vibrant images. The meticulous hand-finishing of this print adds a personal touch, making each copy a unique work of art. The plates depicted in this image were likely produced in Rouen, a city known for its rich history of pottery and porcelain manufacturing. The floral borders, inspired by the natural beauty of the French countryside, add a touch of elegance and refinement to the musical scores. This stunning chromolithograph is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of France during the late 19th century.
