Discover an exceptional piece: a Sarreguemines earthenware panel of 153 tiles, capturing a vibrant scene of Parisian life in the early 19th century. This masterpiece, measuring 252 cm wide and 138 cm high (excluding frame), offers a fascinating recreation of the market around the famous Fountain of the Innocents.
Inspired in part by a work by the painter Jean-Baptiste Mallet (1759-1835), this panel evokes a time when the Place des Innocents was the beating heart of daily life. In the background, the apartment buildings and halles surrounding the site add remarkable architectural depth. In the center, the fountain of the Innocents sits majestically, surrounded by lively, detailed scenes that bring out the life and bustle of this Parisian market.
In the foreground, the picture is teeming with life: merchants and customers trade around stalls laden with fruit, vegetables and various products. The colorful umbrellas, the typical cart and the moving crowd immerse the viewer in the bustle of the market. Each tile contributes to the harmonious, immersive effect.
This unique piece illustrates the exceptional expertise of the Sarreguemines factory and is a living testimony to art and history. Ideal for museums, collectors or art lovers, this panel is a valuable decorative work, perfect for enhancing any space.
Certainly a unique piece.
