摘要
我们展示了与霍伊姆-勒梅尔事件(1728-1731 年)有关的几件迈森瓷器的胎体、釉面和珐琅彩成分的便携式 X 射线荧光数据。1728 年,法国商人鲁道夫-勒梅尔(Rodolphe Lemaire)说服迈森瓷器制造厂仿制日本柿右卫门瓷器,作为原作在巴黎出售。我们将说明这些仿日本瓷器的色彩配方与 1723-24 年的早期瓷器以及后来(18 世纪中期)的瓷器有何不同。在所有情况下,着色剂的化学成分都与约翰-格里高利厄斯-赫罗尔特(Johann Gregorius Höroldt)专门为此推出并保存在迈森档案中的特殊配方有关。令人惊讶的是,黄色着色剂中没有锑或锡。作为一项辅助发现,我们首次通过分析证实,自 1725 年前就存放在仓库中的无标记、无装饰的迈森瓷器在 1730 年左右进行了装饰,并成为霍伊姆-勒梅尔货物的一部分。
Scandal at the Albrechtsburg: The Hoym–Lemaire affair and its impact on the early 18th-century development of pigment technology at the Meissen Manufactory
We present portable X-ray fluorescence data on the composition of body, glaze and enamels of several Meissen porcelain objects associated with the Hoym–Lemaire Affair (1728–1731). In 1728, the French merchant Rodolphe Lemaire convinced the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory into making copies of Japanese Kakiemon porcelain for sale as originals in Paris, a dubious enterprise that depended on the development of additional pigments closely emulating the Kakiemon palette. We shall illustrate how the color formulations for these objects, designed to imitate Japanese porcelain, differ from those on earlier porcelain from 1723–24, as well as later (mid-18th century) objects. In all cases, the colorant chemistry can be related to special recipes introduced by Johann Gregorius Höroldt specifically for this purpose and preserved in the Meissen archives. A surprising observation is the absence of antimony or tin in the yellow colorant. As an ancillary finding, we have confirmed analytically for the first time that unmarked, undecorated Meissen porcelain in storage since prior to 1725 was decorated around 1730 and became part of the Hoym–Lemaire shipment.
期刊介绍:
Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance.
The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
