Sèvres Porcelain Factory · c. 1752 · Cleveland Museum of Art
Looking for this guide.
The paintings and designs of François Boucher were reproduced regularly at the Vincennes Porcelain Factory. This image of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry, depicted on this plate in the form of a winged cupid, was likely inspired by Boucher’s models. Representations of children in monochromatic color schemes, as seen here, were known in France as enfants camïeux and popularly decorated 18th-century French porcelain. Madame de Pompadour, official mistress of French King Louis XV, bought 36 plates with this form and type of decoration on May 23, 1753, attesting to its popularity among French royals.
