This November we celebrate our 30th Anniversary. It was in 1986 that we bought our very first work of art, a Chinese export porcelain meat dish from the Qing dynasty, Qianlong period, decorated in famille rose enamels. Those were different times, the art market was much more localised moving at a much slower pace and, with few exceptions, not as supported by serious research and academia as it is today.

As we look back on what has been a most interesting time for us and our team, not only because of the extraordinary works of art we have handled, the projects we have been involved in, the relationships developed with collectors and academics and so many other aspects of our activity, we realise how much we owe to so many that have supported us in all sorts of ways with their expertise, loyalty and friendship.

The art market has evolved tremendously, now incomparably larger and more complex than in the 80s. It is now a truly global market, with active collectors and museums collecting in a much more informed and eclectic fashion and benefiting from serious information readily available, not only online but also through the enormous number of publications, conferences and other forums. Galleries active in this global market also operate in a different way, with a much closer relationship with academia and some with a presence in different locations, either through their own galleries or through their participation in international art fairs. Leading fairs, such as TEFAF, have also evolved into more sophisticated events, with rigorous vetting by top experts and offering the highest quality of works of art available.

Of course we too have moved with the times; in the early years we concentrated purely on Chinese export porcelain, but this quickly evolved into the much wider field of cross-cultural works of art produced in Africa and Asia which illustrate the interaction between Western, African and Asian cultures. These hybrid objects, produced between the 15th and early 19th centuries, continue to fascinate, not only because of their artistic and technical qualities, but also for the documental and historical relevance they hold. We now operate from two galleries, one in London, since 1996, the other in Lisbon, since 1998, and we have a full time research team and a publishing division that has so far launched over thirty-five reference publications in our field of expertise. Since 1998 we have also held special exhibitions and

010 011 conferences at both of our galleries. These are always accompanied By focusing on this very specific group of scenes that we tentatively call by a catalogue and cover subject matters that have not been the focus ‘views and perspectives’, we also help to highlight one particular aspect of exhibitions in recent times; and which hopefully contribute to the often overlooked, which is how highly skilled and talented the Chinese painters furthering of knowledge in those particular fields. working in Jingdezhen and Canton during the 18th century were. To paint, at that time, such intricate subject matter, of places they had never seen and that were This exhibition and catalogue celebrate our 30th Anniversary. As has been so foreign to their personal experience, to such high quality, is really quite ex­ the case with most of our exhibitions, we have focused our efforts and research traordinary. It is for this reason, notwithstanding the important documental on a very specific theme, one that, as far as we are aware, has not been the and cultural relevance of these pieces, that the catalogue illustrations centre on subject of any exhibitions, or indeed publications, the exception perhaps being the scenes themselves rather than the pieces, at times zooming in on particular the chapter ‘Villes, monuments, châteaux, paysages’ in what has become the details. It is quite astonishing, when studying these enlarged images of such reference book on Chinese export porcelain decorated with European scenes, small areas of decoration, the achievement of the Chinese artists as far as La Porcelaine Des Compagnies des Indes a Décor Occidental, by François and Nicole the attention to detail, expressiveness and quality of the painting.

This exhibition, however, is not restricted to porcelain wares, it also includes other works of art produced Of course the collection we have put together for this exhibition and catalogue in China such as paintings, ivory, fans and a lacquer panel. only partly illustrates what we feel is a fascinating group of pieces representing ‘Times’ and ‘Places’. There would be much more to discuss given further time. The planning for this project has been a long one, mainly due to the difficulty We will continue our research on this subject and hope to keep publishing new in sourcing what are fairly rare pieces decorated with the sort of scenes that information and, who knows, further discoveries of original sources to those illustrate this particular subject. In 2003 we acquired the first piece for this scenes that remain unidentified. exhibition which now includes over one hundred and forty works of art, of which one hundred and twenty-two are illustrated and discussed in the Luísa Vinhais eighty-four entries of this catalogue. Over the thirteen ensuing years of Jorge Welsh preparation for this exhibition and catalogue, A Time and A Place: Views and Perspectives on Chinese Export Art, we, together with our in-house team, collected, researched, wrote and put together the exhibition and this very publication around the theme of: Chinese export porcelain and other export works of art, decorated with scenes that have been influenced in some way by man and always include buildings, street or city views.

These are hugely interesting pieces for a variety of reasons: through their study one can better understand the popular taste of the time and of different Western markets, how trade and private orders took place and who some of the players and relevant personalities were. It is possible to see the technological and logistic developments that took place during this period and how on the one hand there were cross influences and on the other the clear distinctiveness in terms of design, between the European and the Chinese painters of the time.

Views and Perspectives on Chinese Export Art

Introduction

The precise meaning of the terms ‘views’ and ‘perspectives’ was often debated during the 18th century in an attempt to distinguish between traditional landscapes and scenery, and the built environment. These terms became identified with the concept of the ‘Picturesque’, an expression used among English aesthetic theorists and artists to describe the harmonious combination of different elements that fulfilled the condition of being agreeable to the eye, and that were required to create a ‘picture’.1

016 The pleasure brought by these ‘views and perspectives’ was often mentioned in descriptions of the countryside during this period, as for example by William Gilpin (1724-1804), one of the proponents of the Picturesque ideal, who marvelled that:

… the most enchanting Views up and down the River, (…) which, together with very charming Prospects into the Country, (…) make as fine a Piece of Nature, as perhaps can any where be met with.2

Gilpin’s many writings also reveal the curiosity that Europeans had for new and unfamiliar places:

We travel for various purposes; to explore the culture of soils; to view the curiosities of art; to survey the beauties of nature; to search for her productions; and to learn the manners of men; their different polities, and modes of life.3

In addition, during this period ‘the past’ acquired new significance and importance. ‘Antiquarianism’ and in particular ancient buildings and inhabited landscapes were seen as providing insights into a distant time and place. This was recognised as early as 1709, when Sir John Vanbrugh, playwright and architect, wrote to the Duchess of Marlborough: FIG. 1 FIG. 2

The medal is inscribed ‘UBI INTERFICERE FAS EST. IBI DESTRUERE’ [Where it is permitted to kill, it is also permitted to destroy] and ‘IAC: SUYLE A NYEVELT PRAET:/ ROTT: DOMI DESTRUCTIO. / D. 6 OCTOB: 1690’ [The destruction of the home of the Rotterdam head bailiff Jacob Zuylen van Nyevelt October 6, 1690].

The medal was struck by Jan Smeltzing (1656-1693) in pewter, silver and gold.3 Smeltzing was a Dutch medallist, who studied as an engraver under his father. He worked mainly in Leiden, but after designing several politically charged medals, of which the Rotterdam Riots is an example, he fled to France. He is thought to have worked for Leopold I (1640-1705), Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, King of Hungary and Croatia and of Bohemia, King Louis XIV of France (1638-1715), King James II of England (1633-1701) and William III (1650-1703), Prince of Orange and King of FIG. 10 England.4
