Description

A Vienna porcelain cup and saucer with motifs after Angelika Kauffmann Of tapering cylindrical form with original saucer. The cup decorated with a scene of Ceres, Cupid, and a cornucopia in an oval reserve, the saucer with the birth of Shakespeare in a round reserve. Blue bindenschild mark, year stamp 800 and 801 (saucer), dreher's number 39 (saucer) for Ferdinand Ebenberger. Imperial Porcelain Manufactory under Konrad von Sorgenthal, 1801. A legend in her own right: Angelika Kauffmann (1741-1807) Melitta Kunze-Köllensperger Known as La Madonna long before the days of emancipation, gender studies, or pop stars, her profile could have been that of a modern woman: A cosmopolitan polyglot who spoke four languages and was at home on every European stage, Angelika Kauffmann was educated and intellectual whilst still remaining charming and humble despite her glittering career. People's fascination with this exceptional artist, her success, and her talent, were already the subject of commentary during her lifetime. Goethe, Herder, and Winckelmann were among her many friends in Rome and praised Angelika Kauffmann's intellect and grace: “A woman of enormous talent”, “perhaps the most cultivated woman in Europe”, the “tenth Muse of Rome”. In London she was nominated by Sir Joshua Reynolds to become a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768. Copies of her famous paintings were a popular motif on Vienna porcelain of the Sorgenthal period, a time in which the manufactory was more concerned than ever with appealing to the contemporary zeitgeist, creating edifying products, and advancing technologically. It therefore seems only natural that alongside the works of old masters such as Carlo Cignani (1628 - 1719) - as in lot 48, which shows a painting proven to have been housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna since 1783 - the cups, plates, and vases of the Vienna manufactory should feature numerous compositions by Angelika Kauffmann (*1741 in Chur + 1807 in Rome). These miniature sized pieces were perfectly suited to decorate the private art collections of the upper middle classes. In the days before exhibitions and artistic publications, printed reproductions of paintings played an important role in promoting the fame of their artists and elevating the image of their owners. Around 280 engravings of works by Angelika Kauffmann were already available in the year 1810. Mythological subjects belonged to the genre of history painting, which placed a focus on the study of instructive subjects as an important aspect of an enlightened observation of art. Thus, the moralised and stylised emotions found in Angelika Kauffmann's works reflected the sensitive tastes of her era. The engravings made of these works, many of which were acquired by graphics collection of the Albertina in Vienna, were frequently studied and copied by the artists of the imperial porcelain manufactory. For example, a print in the collection of the Albertina entitled “Fancy's sweetest Child” which was engraved in 1782 by Francesco Bartolozzi and references a verse from Thomas Wharton's poem “The Enthusiast or the Love of Nature”. The verse describes how the personification of fancy discovers Shakespeare as a baby, brings him to a cave and charms his ears with the most beautiful of songs. Angelika Kauffmann depicts the “Birth of Shakespeare” with the curious child sitting in the lap of an allegory of fancy with wings in her hair - a composition which the porcelain painters of Royal Vienna interpreted on a saucer as a mother and child (lot 42). The world of nymphs, graces, maenads, and Cupid formed an inexhaustible and perennially popular source of inspiration: “Two Nymphs awakening Love”, engraved by William Wynne Ryland in 1776 and painted on a Vienna porcelain cup symbolises the moment in which young girls discover love for the first time (lot 43). The design of a further teacup (lot 44) shows one of the Graces, Euphrosyne, as an allegory of joy confiscating Cupid's bow so that he can no longer create mischief or break any more hearts. Angelika Kauffmann was inspired to this motif by a poem by Pietro Metastasio (known as Pietro Trapassi) entitled “Le Grazie vendicate” (1735). An engraving of this work made by Thomas Burke in 1784 can be found in the Albertina in Vienna under the title “Cupid disarmed by Euphrosyne”. Provenance Viennese private collection. Literature A plate with the same decor as the saucer in cat.: Verrückt nach Angelika, Düsseldorf 1998, no. 15. Tasse und Untertasse mit Szenen nach Angelika Kauffmann Porzellan, himmelblauer Fond, farbiger Aufglasurdekor, reliefierte Vergoldung. Konisch, mit zugehöriger UT. Auf der Tasse eine ovale Reserve mit Ceres, Cupido und Füllhorn, auf der UT eine Rundreserve mit der Geburt Shakespeares. Blaumarke Bindenschild, Jahresstempel 800 und 801 (UT), Drehernummer 39 (UT) für Ferdinand Ebenberger. Wien, Kaiserliche Manufaktur unter Konrad von Sorgenthal, 1801. Selbst ein Mythos: Angelika Kauffmann (1741-1807) Melitta Kunze-Köllensperger Längst vor Zeiten von Emanzipation, Gender Studies oder Pop-Stars wurde sie als La Madonna gehandelt - ihr Profil entspricht durchaus dem einer modernen Frau: sie war Kosmopolitin und polyglott, sie sprach vier Sprachen und war auf jedem europäischen Parkett zu Hause, sie war gebildet, intellektuell und trotz ihrer sensationellen Karriere charmant und bescheiden. Die Faszination um diese Ausnahmekünstlerin, ihr Erfolg und ihr Talent werden bereits zu ihren Lebzeiten vielfach kommentiert. Goethe, Herder und Winckelmann - um nur einige zu nennen - zählten in Rom zu Angelika Kauffmann's Freundeskreis und rühmten Intellekt und Anmut dieser Frau in Zitaten wie „ein Weib von ungeheurem Talent“, die „vielleicht kultivierteste Frau Europas“ oder die „zehnte Muse Roms“. In London wurde sie infolge ihrer Nominierung durch Sir Joshua Reynolds 1768 Gründungsmitglied der Royal Academy. Kopien nach berühmten Gemälden sind eine beliebte Dekor-Variante auf Wiener Porzellanen der Sorgenthal-Periode, dessen wesentliche Prämisse Aktualität in puncto Zeitgeist, Bildungsauftrag, technischer Entwicklung etc. war. Daher ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass neben Alten Meistern wie zum Beispiel Carlo Cignani (1628 - 1719), siehe Lot 48 - das Gemälde ist im Kunsthistorischen Museum in Wien seit 1783 nachweisbar - auch zahlreiche Kompositionen von Angelika Kauffmann (*1741 in Chur + 1807 in Rom) auf Tassen, Tellern, Vasen etc. der Wiener Manufaktur wiedergegeben sind. Formate en miniature eigneten sich schließlich auch für private Kunstkammern und Sammlungen des Bürgertums. In Zeiten vor Ausstellungsprojekten und Kunstpublikationen kam der druckgraphischen Reproduktion von Gemälden eine bedeutende Rolle zu, die der Popularität von Künstlern*innen und deren Werk sowie dem Image ihrer Besitzer diente. Bereits 1810 existierten 280 Stiche zu Gemälden von Angelika Kauffmann. Mythologische Sujets zählten zur Gattung der Historienmalerei, die als wichtigen Aspekt der aufgeklärten Kunstbetrachtung das Studium lehrreicher Sujets in den Focus stellte. Somit reflektieren die moralisierend stilisierten Emotionen Angelika Kauffmann's den sensiblen Geschmack der Zeit. Die Stichvorlagen, die oftmals von der Graphischen Sammlung Albertina in Wien angekauft wurden, konnten von den Malern der Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur studiert und kopiert werden: so ist zum Beispiel ein Blatt in der Graphischen Sammlung in der Albertina in Wien als „Fancy's sweetest Child“ betitelt. Es wurde 1782 von Francesco Bartolozzi gestochen und bezieht sich auf Verse aus dem Gedicht „The Enthusiast or the L
