This exhibition brings together two of the most extraordinary
surviving sets of vases owned by King Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antoinette of
France during the late 1700s.
The vases are among the highest achievements of
the Sèvres porcelain manufactory made before the French Revolution, becoming
personal treasures of the royal family at the time.
They were initially kept at
the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, the royal family’s primary residence,
and are a testament to the exemplary skills of the artists who took part in
their creation.
This exhibition reunites all eight vases, that were separated
during the Revolution, offering the rare opportunity to appreciate the
craftsmanship and design of the ensembles.
The loan of the queen’s vases is part of an artistic exchange
between the J. Paul Getty Museum and Versailles, where an important desk made
for Louis XVI from the Museum’s collection is currently on long-term loan.
