Verdures du Vatican

Designer Designed by Jean Démosthène Dugourc French
ca. 1799
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 553
Ce panneau de soie formait une paire, elle-même partie d’un ensemble de tentures destinées à décorer la salle de billard de la Casita del Labrador, le palais d’agrément construit entre 1791 et 1803 à Aranjuez, en Espagne, pour le roi Charles IV. Dugourc, qui fournissait la noblesse française et espagnole, était réputé pour son habileté à intégrer des motifs de sources diverses. Ce panneau, par exemple, est inspiré principalement de la Loge de Raphaël, au Vatican. Issu des ateliers de Camille Pernon, chef de file des producteurs lyonnais de soierie de luxe, le panneau est un prodigieux mariage entre tissage et broderie.
