The Japanese Palace in Dresden: a Highlight of European 18Th-Century
都市と伝統的文化 The ‘Japanese Palace’ in Dresden: A Highlight of European 18th-century Craze for East-Asia. Cordula BISCHOFF Dresden, seat of government and capital of present-day federal state Saxony, now benefits more than any other German city from its past as a royal residence. Despite war-related destructions is the cityscape today shaped by art and architecture with a history of 500 years. There is possibly no other place in Germany where to find so many exceptional artworks concentrated in such a small area. This accumulation is a result of the continuosly increasing significance of the Dresden court and a gain in power of the Saxon Wettin dynasty. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a conglomeration of more than 350 large and tiny territories. The 50 to 100 leading imperial princes struggled in a constant competition to maintain their positions. 1) In 1547 the Saxon Duke Moritz(1521-1553)was declared elector. Thus Saxony gained enormous political significance, as the seven, in 18th century nine electors, were the highest-ranking princes. They elected the Roman-German emperor and served as his innermost councils. The electors of Saxony and of the Palatinate were authorised to represent the emperor in times of vacancy. At the same time in 16th century Saxony rose due to its silver mining industry to one of the richest German territorial states. 2) In the second half of the 17th century the Saxon court even counted among the most important European courts. A peak of political power was reached under Frederick August(us)I. -

FREDERICK THE GREAT‟S PORCELAIN DIVERSION: THE CHINESE TEA HOUSE AT SANSSOUCI Tania Solweig Shamy Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal October 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of doctor of philosophy. ©Tania Solweig Shamy 2009 Abstract This thesis signals a new approach in the study of the Chinese Tea House at Sanssouci. It argues that Frederick the Great‟s exotic pavilion, although made of sandstone and stucco, is porcelain in essence. The garden building reflects the many meanings of this highly valued commodity and art form in the privileged society of the king and his contemporaries. The pavilion is unique in that it was inspired by the type of sculptural ornament designed to decorate the eighteenth- century table of the nobility. The Tea House is a thematically integrated structure that demonstrates the influence of porcelain on interior décor and architecture. The designation of the garden building as a Gesamtkunstwerk acknowledges the blending of architecture, painting, and sculpture; characteristics shared by porcelain centerpieces. They exemplify the intermediality associated with the development of eighteenth- century porcelain and the interpretation of Frederick‟s pavilion. ii Résumé Cette thèse annonce une approche nouvelle dans l‟étude de la Maison de Thé Chinoise à Sans-Souci. Elle soutient que le pavillon exotique de Frédéric Le Grand, fait de pierre et de stuc, représentait intrinsèquement la porcelaine. Ainsi, cette construction de jardin refléterait de fait les sens multiples accordés par la société privilégiée du Roi et de ses contemporains à cette commodité de luxe et à cette forme d‟art. -

PORCELAIN AS SCULPTURE by Clare Le Corbcillcr Associate Curator, European Sculpture & Decorative Arts, the Metropolitan Musucm of Art, New York
PORCELAIN AS SCULPTURE by Clare Le Corbcillcr Associate Curator, European Sculpture & Decorative Arts, The Metropolitan Musucm of Art, New York. Whether porcelain was suitable for sculpurc is a ques tion that might have been asked in the formative years of the European factories, but it was not. It was taken somewhat for granted: just as the China trade had pro vided both the impetus for the discovery and manufac ture of porcelain in the west, and an initial repertoire through its shiploads of blue and white useful wares, so it also provided us with blanc de chine figures that demonstrated the viability of porcelain as a sculptural medium. And by using the China trade as a kind of testing ground we in the west made tentative sculptural explorations, substituting, for example, Dutchmen for Asians on Buddhist lions and creating through such familiar models as the Dutch family group (Plate 1) what might best be termed souvenir sculpture. It had an im portant effect, however: surely it was familiarity with the white body of blanc dc chine and our attempts to manipulate the material (albeit at second hand) by ordering new models that prompted us to go one step further and produce our own porcelain sculpture. The visual and tactile parallel between Fukien and St. Cloud figures, for example, is too close to ignore. What Fukien sculpture did not offer, however, beyond a few models like the immensely popular one of Budai which was so widely copied in the European factories, was reper toire, and for that we had to turn elsewhere. -
Balthasar Permoser (Sazburg 1651 - Dresden 1732)
Balthasar Permoser (Sazburg 1651 - Dresden 1732) Autumn and Winter Circa: 1695 1695 Autumn signed 'BAT:P:INV' (to the back); Winter signed 'B.P.v' (to the front) 24 cm high (Auumn) and 22cm high (Winter) After having lived in Rome and worked for the Medici in Florence, Balthasar Permoser accepted an invitation to the court of the Elector of Saxony and moved to Dresden in 1690. Remaining in that city until his death (except for a period in Berlin), he produced a range of works, from monumental sculptures to devotional pieces full of pathos and exquisite ivory figures. Permoser’s series of the four seasons in ivory, signed and dated 1695, was executed in Dresden. The figures of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were split into two pairs in the early 19th century while in Paris and only the female figures were returned to Braunschweig (now Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum). After almost two centuries of separation the four ivories were temporarily reunited on the occasion of the exhibition held in Florence in 2013 (see lit.). The elegant movement that animates the figures and the technical virtuosity in the carving make them masterpieces of the late Baroque period. Following the Renaissance tradition of representing Roman gods as personifications of the four seasons, Permoser carved a smiling figure of Flora (Spring), an energetic Ceres (Summer), a drunken Bacchus (Autumn) and an aged Vulcan (Winter). Permoser illustrated the theme more than once, not only in ivory but also on a monumental scale, as with the Ceres and Vulcan in stone at the Zwinger, Dresden (1714/1715)[1].
