19th Century KPM Porcelain Plaque after Gerrit Dou, Titled "The Schoolmaster"

About the Item

An Incredible and Quite Rare 19th Century KPM Porcelain Plaque after Gerrit Dou (Student of Rembrandt, Titled "The Schoolmaster" c. 1671. The porcelain plaque is incredible with the most dynamic amounts detail hand-enameled and hand-crafted. The subject depicts an old man seated in the foreground of the image. His face is lit in concentration as he sharpens his quill. Students in the background are quietly focused on their work, aglow from afar in the soft window light. Dressed in academic regalia and bearing thin wire specs, the old man exudes the idea of intellectual prowess during Renaissance period Europe. KPM porcelain plaques with old master painting subjects are highly sought after and very collectible. They are some of the most collectable and prized KPM plaques in the market. This piece is extra rare as it is in its original giltwood frame. Dutch Golden Age painter Gerrit Dou was born in 1613. He is known best for his genre paintings, depicting ordinary people minding their quotidian lives in the comfort of interior spaces. A student of Rembrandt, his warm, candlelit night scenes of daily life evoke the powerful stoicism of Dutch painting and the democratizing force of narrative artwork. Germany, Circa: 1850 Dimensions: With Frame: Height: 20 in. Width: 17 in. Depth: 2 in. Plaque Only: Height: 12.25 in Width: 10.25 in.
