Painting Description
The "Plate depicting the Festival of the Federation, 14th July 1790, Sarreguemines, 1889" is a notable ceramic piece created by Paul Utzschneider, a prominent figure in the ceramics industry during the 19th century. This plate is a commemorative artifact that captures the essence of the Festival of the Federation, a significant event in French history that took place on July 14, 1790. The festival was a grand celebration marking the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and symbolized the unity and solidarity of the French people during the early stages of the French Revolution.
Paul Utzschneider, born in 1771 in Germany, later moved to France where he became a key player in the ceramics industry, particularly known for his work in Sarreguemines, a town renowned for its pottery and faience. In 1800, Utzschneider took over the Sarreguemines pottery factory, which under his direction, flourished and gained international acclaim for its high-quality ceramics and innovative designs.
The plate itself, crafted in 1889, is a testament to Utzschneider's craftsmanship and the rich tradition of Sarreguemines pottery. It features intricate designs and vivid imagery that depict the joyous scenes of the Festival of the Federation. The central motif likely illustrates the grand procession and the collective oath taken by representatives from all regions of France, pledging their loyalty to the new constitution and the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
This commemorative plate not only serves as a piece of decorative art but also as a historical document, reflecting the patriotic fervor and the cultural memory of the French Revolution. It exemplifies the intersection of art, history, and national identity, encapsulated in a medium that was both accessible and cherished in households of the time. The 1889 creation date also coincides with the centennial celebrations of the French Revolution, further emphasizing its significance as a commemorative object.
