Descrizione Dettagliata
Large rectangular oak mirror with a carved wooden frame, decorated in the Bérain style with flowers and foliage.
Its pediment is decorated with a family coat of arms in the centre, surrounded by acanthus leaves.
The mirror is mercury with slight wear in places.
Period: Louis XIV - early 17th century
Circa : 1680 - 1700
Dimensions : Height : 118cm x Width : 77cm x Depth : 7,5cm
The decoration à la Berain represents motifs taken from the ornaments he executed at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century.
They represent scenes of grotesques, monkeys, dancing figures, canopies and draperies suspended among foliage.
On smaller surfaces, such as frames, Berain's decorations consist of a series of fleurons, shells, light arabesques and airy festoons, in which the acanthus leaf is kept to a minimum.
Jean Berain, whose name is today associated with the decorations of Moustiers earthenware, can be considered as one of the most original artists of the reign of Louis XIV.
He distinguished himself in so many different fields that he was described during his lifetime as a "universal genius".
