Lot 118 | DESFOSSE & KARTH (MANUFACTURE DE), FIN DU XIXÈME SIÈCLE.
Série de six lés de grisailles tirés de l’Histoire de Psyché représentant :

- Hymen de Psyché et de Cupidon (lé unique)

- Les Parents de Psyché consultant l’oracle d’Apollon (deux lés)

- Psyché abandonnée (un lé)

- Psyché voulant poignarder l’Amour endormi (deux lés)

Chaque lé : H. 2,84 cm. L. 0,56 cm.

La série originale de ce célèbre papier peint fut éditée par la manufacture de Dufour en

1814 représentant douze tableaux de l’histoire de Psyché.

Elle retrace l’histoire de la plus belles des trois filles d’un roi, Psyché, dont la beauté était

si rare, que les hommes lui vouaient un culte après l’avoir vu, oubliant leur dévotion à

Vénus.

Ce décor panoramique fut réalisé sur une composition de Louis Laffite (1770-1828),

qui s’était lui-même inspiré de François Gérard et Pierre-Paul Prudhon, deux célèbres

peintres de la période néoclassique. On ne s’étonnera donc pas du style de ces panneaux,

où apparaît notamment un mobilier antique inspiré de Jacob.

L’originalité de cette série vient de sa composition en douze panneaux, constituant

un cycle où chaque scène peut être associée ou dissociée. Son succès entraina ensuite

plusieurs rééditions de ce papier peint, à la fin du XIXème et au début du XXème siècle

par la manufacture Desfossé et Karth.



A set of six wallpapers in grisaille from l’Histoire de Psyché.

every piece: H.:111¾ in., W.: 22 in
