Bayeux: Large Porcelain Vase With Chinese Motifs, 19th Century
Artist: Bayeux
BAYEUX (attributed to): Superb 19th century porcelain vase, circa 1840, which illustrates the taste for Asian aesthetics. It is distinguished by a rich polychromy, all through a relief which gives an impression of movement and depth. The decoration, painted with great finesse, depicts two traditional characters accompanied by a deer in the heart of a lush garden. The abundant iconography mixes vibrant flowers, bunches of fruit and multicolored butterflies which bloom. The chromatic richness, ranging from soft tones to the most vivid hues, gives the scene a striking aura. Witness to the European fascination with Asia, this vase combines technical virtuosity and visual poetry in a refined homage to nature and Asian decorative art.
