EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Chinese looking glass, located in the York Bedroom of Arundel Castle. Carved by the talented J. A. Cuenot in 1750, this masterpiece is made from mirror glass, gilded wood, and oil on panel. Originally hailing from the State Dressing Room at Norfolk House in London's St James's Square, it now graces the Duke of Norfolk's collection. The intricate design of this looking glass transports viewers to a mesmerizing Chinese landscape. The cityscape features a winding river and figures dressed in traditional costumes, adding an element of cultural richness to its ornate decoration. With its rococo style and gold accents, this piece exudes elegance and opulence. The British School painting captures not only the beauty but also the essence of chinoiserie - a decorative style that was highly popular during the 18th century. Floral motifs intertwine with neoclassical elements such as tapestry borders inspired by Claude Audran and Jean Baptiste Belin de Fontenay. As we delve into this image further, we are reminded of advertisements from that era featuring elephants, horses, illusions - all part of grand shows and carnivals that captivated audiences back then. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every detail within this photograph print for us to admire today. It serves as a testament to both British culture and European artistic influences during that time period – truly an exquisite piece worthy of admiration for generations to come.
