The three Graces of M. V. Jaquotot

For the first time on-line it is possible to compare on this website, a version painted on porcelain of the Three Graces of Marie Victoire Jaquotot inspired by Raphael's version, who in turn took inspiration from works dating back to the roman era. To be able to enter in narrow friendship the original tablet on which Raffaello painted in Renaissance adequacy the symbolic motive of three Graces, the painter Jaquotot found the opportunity to create her personal interpretation of the grace, beauty and kindness, in the sense and the time of that classicism of the first decades of 1800, in which she lived. With her art, the meticulous painting on porcelain reached a level of perfection remained unsurpassed in the European history of the art of ceramics. Very much hired by "Sèvres" in Paris and with her own atelier and a school of painting, Marie Victoire Jaquotot is already living from the honours received from the rulers and even praise from European royal houses. On her excellent work, refer to the “Revue Encyclopédique“ and other periodicals, art, comments, and publications also abroad of eminent art historians, as well as in the important “Nagler - Lexikon“, ed. 1838, pages 480 and 481.
Especially known for her reproductions on porcelain of the works of Raphael and other great artists, her work in this area is in great demand although it is known that, in certain parts of the motive to be copied, she spontaneously makes minor improvements and corrections, and also adds some details that she believes are important to show. When completed & appreciated, the work she copied appears as if the original had been freed from the veil of old varnishes.
