EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a Jug from Nevers, France, nestled among the lush greenery of an Italian-inspired genre scene. The Jug, or "aiguiere" in French, is a fine example of Nevers pottery, known for its distinctive glazes and intricate decorations. The Jug rests beneath the boughs of a tree, its elegant curves and delicate handles contrasting beautifully with the wild, untamed landscape around it. Surrounding the Jug, a scene of pastoral bliss unfolds. A mischievous faun, half-man and half-goat, plays a lute, his eyes fixed on a captivated nymph who reclines beside him. The pair seem lost in their own world, oblivious to the golden wheat field that stretches out before them. The tree under which they sit, its branches heavy with leaves and fruit, provides a shady respite from the sun. This hand-finished chromolithograph, produced by Ris Paquots in Paris in 1874, is a testament to the rich history of ancient French and foreign glazed pottery. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a time when the simple pleasures of nature were celebrated and cherished. The image is a beautiful fusion of French and Italian influences, a reminder of the artistic connections that existed between these two great European cultures of the past.
