Description
Français : Détail - Plaque de porcelaine de Sèvres représentant la duchesse de Berry et sa fille Louise Marie Thérèse d'Artois, vers 1822, par Jean-Baptiste Zwinger et Madame Arsène Trouvé

encadrée, marques au tampon bleu aux L entrelacés, signatures en creux N°10 Leguilliez py 1810

Haut. 51 cm, larg. 44 cm

Dévastée par l'assassinat de son mari dans la nuit du 13 février 1820, Marie-Caroline, duchesse de Berry, enceinte, devient le symbole monarchique de toute une nation. Louis XVIII n'a pas d'héritier direct, son frère le comte d'Artois prendra sa suite mais son fils aîné, le duc d'Angoulême, n'a pas d'enfant non plus. Tous les espoirs sont donc placés sur le ventre arrondi de Marie-Caroline qui donne naissance le 29 septembre 1820 à Henri d'Artois, duc de Bordeaux.

De nombreux tableaux, objets et références à cette naissance, comme par exemple, les pendules de l'enfant miraculeux, sont réalisés par les artistes, pour soutenir le pouvoir monarchique.

Cette plaque de porcelaine représente la duchesse en habit de deuil avec sa fille aînée Louise, regardant le buste du duc de Berry réalisé en 1817 par Ruxthiel. Elle reprend un tableau de François-Joseph Kinsoen qui fut présenté au Salon de 1822 et recueillit un grand succès. Cette oeuvre fait partie des deux plaques commandées par la duchesse et réalisées à Sèvres en 1822 par Jean-Baptiste Zwinger et Madame Arsène Trouvé.

Devastated by the assassination of her husband on the night of 13 February 1820, Marie-Caroline, the pregnant duchesse de Berry, became the monarchic symbol of an entire nation. Louis XVIII had no direct heir; his brother the Comte d'Artois would take over, but his eldest son, the duc d'Angoulême, had no children either. All hopes were therefore pinned on the rounded belly of Marie-Caroline, who gave birth on 29 September 1820 to Henri d'Artois, Duc de Bordeaux.

Numerous paintings, objects and references to this birth, such as the miraculous child clocks, were produced by artists in support of the monarchy.

This porcelain plaque depicts the Duchess in mourning with her eldest daughter Louise, looking at the bust of the Duke of Berry created in 1817 by Ruxthiel. It is based on a painting by François-Joseph Kinsoen that was exhibited at the 1822 Salon and was a great success.
