Le livre FIRED BY PASSION VIENNA BAROQUE PORCELAIN OF CLAUDIUS INNOCENTIUS DU PAQUIER /ANGLAIS, écrit par CHILTON MEREDITH, édité par ARNOLDSCHE coute 298,00 €.
Du Paquier, an independently operating Viennese porcelain factory, was established in 1718, only eight years after Meissen. Although its heyday was brief, lasting only twenty-five years, Du Paquier produced porcelain of great beauty, notable for an enchantingly graceful style and consummate sophistication of execution. In three sumptuously illustrated volumes, scholars of international standing present the distinctive style and the exciting history of Du Paquier porcelain in the context of Baroque Vienna. The first comprehensive publication on this important porcelain factory, this work has been made possible through a five-year research programme conducted by the Melinda and Paul Sullivan Foundation for the Decorative Arts. The objects shown, many of them for the first time here, are in major public and private collections.
The arts in Baroque Vienna represent the cultural background for the magnificent Du Paquier porcelain. These lavishly designed books provide a comprehensive introduction to this courtly society and the distinctive porcelain made by Du Paquier. Essays by distinguished scholars in the field make this publication a standard work, not only for specialists but also for collectors and connoisseurs of porcelain as well as anyone interested in the Baroque era.
