Henry de TRIQUETI (1803-1874) - Lot 42
Henry de TRIQUETI (1803-1874) Project for a candelabra base with three figures Black pencil, brown wash and white gouache highlights on half-tone paper 33.5 x 20 cm Four drawings by the same artist and an anonymous drawing are included. Provenance: Château du Perthuis. Note: A true polymorph artist, Triqueti was as interested in architecture as he was in the decorative arts, exhibiting numerous bronze and wax models at the 1831 and 1832 Salons. His approach was similar to that of a Renaissance sculptor, with strict control over the use of his models and the choice of bronze and ivory craftsmen. Although he began with a historical and picturesque repertoire, after 1834 - when he was commissioned to create the doors of the Madeleine church - he turned to subjects inspired by the Bible or Antiquity. Triqueti was also commissioned to work in churches, creating pulpits and religious silverware, including for the royal family.
