EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Vase, Vivant Denon, Egyptian Porcelain Service" from the renowned Sevres collection. Crafted in 1806 by Dominique Vivant Denon, this porcelain masterpiece is a testament to his artistic brilliance and attention to detail. The vase forms part of a larger set gifted by Napoleon Bonaparte to Tzar Alexander I in 1807. Its design draws inspiration from Denon's illustrations for his published account of his journey through Egypt during Bonaparte's campaign in 1798. The neoclassical scenes depicted on the plates offer a glimpse into the rich landscapes and cultural heritage of Egypt and North Africa. Adorned with intricate gilding and stylized decorations, this ornate ceramic piece transports viewers back in time to an era where elegance and opulence reigned supreme. Its elaborate craftsmanship reflects Denon's expertise as both an artist and curator, having served as Napoleons Minister of Arts and first director of the Musee Napoleon (Louvre).
