Royal Porcelain from the Twinight Collection, 1800–1850
September 16, 2008–August 9, 2009
Wrightsman Exhibition Gallery, European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, 1st floor
The porcelain factories of Berlin, Sèvres, and Vienna achieved an extraordinary level of both artistic and technical skill in the first half of the nineteenth century, and the quality of painted decoration practiced at these three factories at that time has never been surpassed. This exhibition brings together approximately seventy-five superb examples from these three European porcelain manufactories and illustrates the exchange of ideas and styles between the factories that resulted in some of the most remarkable porcelain ever produced.
Accompanied by a catalogue.
The exhibition is made possible by Richard Baron Cohen.
