Nymphenburg Blanc de Chine Allegorical Figure Set

Descrizione

Nymphenburg Blanc de Chine Allegorical Figure Set. Selling the set, tallest 7.5"<br>from the third quarter of the 20th century with 5 of Bustelli's Ovidian s<br>standing on plinths. From 1754 to 1763 Franz Anton Bustelli modeled a set of<br>small putti at Nymphenburg, representing the Roman s as described by the Latin<br>poet Ovid. He took a different approach from previous representations of s,<br>seeing them as smiling, playful children in a Baroque style, with sculptural,<br>three-dimensional poses that twist and turn. Each figure has to be seen in the<br>round to be fully appreciated. Each figure is also accompanied by a specific<br>object or objects that identify which is represented, for example, a wine barrel<br>and an upraised cup for the of wine, Bacchus. Bustelli's figures of Ovidian s<br>have been reissued since the early 20th century by the Nymphenburg factory in<br>Munich as a fitting tribute to the genius of its greatest sculptor.<br>No cracks, chips, or restorations. I've seen these sell on the secondary marked<br>for over $300 ea. I don't believe they are in production anymore but heard they<br>last retailed for close to 1k each.<br>tw166
