Lot 2373 | Sehr seltene Meissen Figurengruppe Columbine und Scaramuz
Sehr seltene Meissen Figurengruppe Columbine und Scaramuz
Unregelmäßiger, mit plastischen Blüten und Blättern belegter Sockel. An einem kleinen blühenden Baum stehender Komödiant Scaramuz in einem schwarzen, goldkonturierten Kostüm mit weißer Halskrause, das Haar vollständig von einer Kappe verdeckt. Sich dicht an ihn schmiegende Columbine in weißem, von Indianischen Blumen gemustertem Rock, seegrünem Mieder und gelber Schürze, unter ihrem linken Arm einen durchbrochen gearbeiteten Vogelbauer haltend. Entw. Johann Joachim Kaendler, um 1740 - 1741. Schwache Schwertermarke. Meissen. Mitte 18. Jh.; H. 18 cm.
In den 1740er Jahren finden sich in den Arbeitsberichten Kaendlers mehrfach Hinweise auf die verschiedensten Entwürfe derartiger Liebespaare, die in den unterschiedlichsten Varianten belegt sind. Die auf charmante erzählerische, zum Teil humorvolle Weise wiedergegebenen Plastiken erfreuten sich größter Popularität. Das hier dargestellte Sujet des Liebespaares, eine Adaption auf Nicolas Lancrets Gemälde "La cage" (im Louvre) wird bei Kaendler von zwei Figuren der Commedia dell`arte verkörpert. Vergleichbare Exemplare befinden sich im Bestand großer internationaler Museen: London, Victoria & Albert Museum; New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Irwin Untermeyer Collection; Paris, Musée des Arts Décoratifs; St. Petersburg, Staatliche Eremitage.
Vgl. Menzhausen/Karpinski, Abb. S. 138 f.; Pietsch, Meißner Porzellanplastik, Abb. 96 und S. 68.
