For British design, the revival was arguably initiated by the exhibition “Victorian and Edwardian Decorative Arts,” held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in 1952.1 Interest in French and other continental European manufacture began later and did not immediately take hold. In France, this interest increased with the decision in 1978 to create the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, specifically devoted to the art of the nineteenth century.2 Writing that same year in the introductory essay to the catalogue for the seminal exhibition originating in Philadelphia “The Second Empire, 1852–1870: Art in France under Napoleon III,” Jean-Marie Moulin acknowledged that this particular period “has been ignored—one might almost say erased—by French art historians…. Those who have had the experience of working on the Second Empire in the area of the arts have felt the scorn (sometimes tinged with indulgence) that has surrounded the period, even—and perhaps especially—among the specialist and the knowledgeable layman.”3The ambivalence toward French decorative arts from the middle decades of the nineteenth century can perhaps be understood against the backdrop of a sense of loss for the dignified and aristocratic grandeur encapsulated by the culture of the ancien régime. France was dominated by the bourgeoisie by the time of the Second Empire, and the frequently backwardlooking decoration of this period tended toward the showy: the taste of the nouveaux riches. But this viewpoint has come to be seen as representing an incomplete and unfair assessment of a fertile period, in which technical and artistic invention introduced a great degree of originality, with such work now appreciated for its distinctly nineteenth-century aesthetic merit.Charles Lepec (1830–1890), who was at his most active during the Second Empire period,4 exemplifies this sophisticated strand of French creativity. He was an artist who excelled in the medium of enamels, and, as will be shown, was particularly original and technically innovative. Many of his contemporaries working in the medium depended on compositions prevalent during the Renaissance. The 1978 Second Empire exhibition drew attention to many of the period’s leading manufacturers, some of whom are now represented in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which acquired them subsequently. These include the bronze founder and enamel manufacturer Ferdinan","PeriodicalId":42073,"journal":{"name":"METROPOLITAN MUSEUM JOURNAL","volume":"50 1","pages":"194-223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147909002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
