Große Figurengruppe "Phoebus Apollo" von Meissen
3-tlg.; Auf mehrfach geschwungenem Sockel mit verschiedenen Ornamentfriesen und stilisierten Wolken, von einem galoppierenden Viergespann gezogener, reich geschmückter Wagen mit flammenden Rädern. Darin sitzender, von einem Strahlenkranz umgebener Gott Phoebus Apollo (der "Leuchtende") mit Zepter, begleitet von einem Putto. Polychrome Malerei mit reicher Goldstaffage. Entw. Johann Joachim Kaendler, um 1772/73. Rest.; Meissen. 2. Hälfte 19. Jh.; Schwertermarke. H. 30 cm. 42 cm x 24 cm.
Ursprünglich wurde diese Figurengruppe für die "Große russische Bestellung" entworfen. Figuren aus dieser Bestellung sollten die Räumlichkeiten des Schlosses Oranienbaum schmücken. Johann Joachim Kaendler und Michel Victor Acier teilten sich diese Aufgabe und entwickelten zahlreiche Figurengruppen mit mythologischer Ikonographie in Verbindung mit den politischen Erfolgen der Zarin Katharina II.; Phoebus Apollo wurde auch mit Helios gleichgesetzt und gehörte -gemessen an der damaligen Auffassung - zu den sieben Planeten. Diese ist die erste Gruppe einer Reihe von Planetenpersonifikationen, die von Johann Joachim Kaendler und später auch Michel Victor Acier für Katharina die Große entworfen wurden.
Vgl. Kat. Meissen für die Zaren, S. 112, Abb. 42.
