About the Item

Fauré Limoges « L'Amateur d'Estampe » After Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) A framed polychromed enamel on copper plaque After the original painting by Honoré Daumier “ L’Amateur d’Estampe”, (The print lover), stored in the collections of the Petit-Palais Museum in Paris France. Signed Fauré Limoges France With original sticker on the reverse « Émaux d’Art de Maître Émailleur Fauré Limoges » et titled « L'Amateur d'Estampe d'après Honoré Daumier. » Circa 1935-1940 H 14 cm L 10 cm. Framed H 22,5 cm L 18,5 cm P 2,4 cm Camille Raymond Fauré is a French enamel artist, born on November 16, 1874 in Péri-gueux and died on October 7, 1956 in Limoges. He is best known for his work designing enamels for the companies manufacturing porcelain in Limoges. Floral and figurative motifs in richly enameled colors are his signature. At the beginning of the 20th century, he sold his creations in Paris in the shop Au Vase Étrusque. In this shop, he produces and exhibits vases, bowls, ashtrays, boxes and other objects. The 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts marks Fauré’s breakthrough. He becomes the most famous enameller of Limoges. Other Limoges enamelers active in the 1920s include Paul Bonnaud, Jules Sarlandie and Henriette Marty. In 1925, Fauré established his own company in Limoges. It employs five enamelers: Lucie Dadat, Pierre Bardy, Louis Valade, Marcelle Decouty-Védrenne and Jeanne Soubourou. The latter have the possibility to create freely under the brand «C. Fauré Limoges». The company specializes in the production of signs and advertising plates for stores, as well as painting and interior decoration. This specialization coincides with the boom in department stores at that time. The prolific artist who was Daumier painted very freely for himself, retaking in successive versions the same subjects. The amateur, absorbed in the search for an engraving, is one of those figures of the Parisian petty bourgeoisie dear to Daumier. The Amateur illustrates the emergence during the Second Empire, in Balzac’s France, of a new type of collector. The founding of the Society of Aquaforists in 1861, was a response to the renewed interest shown by these amateurs in original prints, which were more accessible than painting at modest incomes. While continuing to observe the customs and characters of his time, Daumier here abandons the satirical verve of the lithographer of the Sketches of Salon, to give his character a more universal expression. The collected atmosphere treated in chiaroscuro, the sobriety of the camaïeux, the monumentality of the models recall this impression of peaceful gravity that emanates from the interiors of Chardin. We have little reference to know the chronology and stylistic evolution of Daumier’s paintings remained, with rare exceptions, in the workshop. His production had to be intensified after he was fired from the newspaper Le Charivari in 1860, which left him more time to de-vote himself to painting easels. Celebrated during his lifetime by Delacroix and Baudelaire, Daumier sold his works to a small circle of amateurs, such as Corot, the caring friend, who kept this painting until the end of his life.

Hortense Richard (1858-1940) “Marguerite of Faust” Painting on Porcelain, c.1890
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
A Universal Exhibition Painting on Plaque after the painter James Bertrand Hand-painted Polychromed Painting on Porcelain Plaque Representing The Marguerite of Faust Signed Lower Left Titled on the reverse: “Marguerite Folle d’Après James Bertrand, Exposition Universelle 1889” After the painting by James Bertrand "The Marguerite of Faust" In its original frame Circa 1890 Faust and Marguerite Faust is tired of his old life and wants to kill himself. In a final burst of bitter anger, he invokes the devil. The devil appears in the guise of Mephistopheles and offers him a pact: he will grant him what he desires most in the world in exchange for his servitude. Faust asks him for youth and his help in seducing Marguerite. When he achieves his goal, bound by his contract with the devil, Faust abandons the latter who is waiting for her child. Filled with remorse, he returns to her, but kills Valentin, Marguerite's brother who tries to stop him, during a duel. He then tries to save the life of Marguerite who is imprisoned for infanticide, but he fails. Like this multifaceted character, the vocal treat-ment chosen by Gounod is differentiated: sometimes very lyrical with touching flights, sometimes very cold and repetitive to evoke her detachment from the world of men. Marguerite is young and naive. She lets herself be seduced by the charming and mysterious character of Faust and thus causes her own downfall as well as that of her family (her brother and her child will die). Hortense Richard (1858-1940) Marie Sophie Hortense Jeanne Schrenk was born in Charonne in 1858, the natural daughter of Louise Christine Frederika Schrenk and an unnamed father. Her mother, a German born in Stuttgart, officially recognized her in August 1879. A few days later, Hortense married his fellow painter Désiré Alfred Magne...
