About the Item

A very rare and beautiful portrait of a Saint, a polychrome ceramic signed hand on the reverse Marc Roussel. Marc Roussel is the father in Law of François Lembo, as his son-in-law his work as a ceramist is very inspired by Byzantine art and Russian icônes. This tendency quickly guided him to move towards the realization of Russian icons transcribed on the ceramic taking the decorations of the icons in iridescent ceramic, which shine around the halos of the saints. The artist is known as a famous ceramist in Vallauris, the village known as France's clay capital. From the 1950s famous artists, attracted by the reputation of Vallauris, settled there, including Pablo Picasso.
