We have chosen FINE ARTS PARIS • INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR & Le Grand Palais as the venue for our exhibition event « VERSAILLES MANIA », a project showcasing a selection of sculptures inspired not only by Versailles but also by the « Galerie de Girardon ».
In a display evoking the famous collection of François Girardon -the « Phidias » of the « Grand Siècle » and the chief architect of the Palace of Versailles- more than thirty works created during the reign of the Sun King, one of the most significant periods in the history of French art, will be showcased to their best advantage with David Belugou assisting in the set design.

Marbles, stones, bronzes and terracottas dating from 1650 to 1750 will illustrate the artistic vision of this opulent and cultured period, which has become a symbol of a particular aesthetic, and which shaped Europe’s political and cultural landscape like no other. With a direct connection to the Palace of Versailles, all these sculptures will offer the opportunity -and the dream- of acquiring a fragment around this iconic place !

During the Baroque period, Venice became a hub for artists from diverse geographical backgrounds, each making their own personal contribution to the development of a profoundly heterogeneous school, characterised by the fusion of local and foreign influences. It was these ‘encounters’ that gave rise to the originality of the artistic culture of the Venetian Seicento and Settecento, characterised by the connections forged between local and foreign masters, as well as by fashions and styles from elsewhere.
In keeping with the whimsical tradition of 17th and 18th-century Venetian furniture, our decorative console table depicts a man wearing a turban, kneeling on a cushion, with his left hand around his waist and his right arm raised, holding a tray. Richly dressed in an oriental costume, probably of Turkish inspiration, the figure is characterised by a dynamic pose and a strong visual impact, enhanced by the contrast between the pigments - gold and cobalt blue. Crafted from wood, it is also distinguished by the particular care taken in the application of the polychrome paintwork and gilding, from which a layer of varnish has been removed to produce a brocade-like effect, using the illusionist sgraffito technique.

Luxurious and theatrical, this console table not only evokes the Baroque splendour of the palaces on the lagoon but also spectacularly highlights the inventiveness of the Venetian sculptors and cabinetmakers of the period, who vied with one another to combine function and ornamentation. The piece stands out as the centrepiece of a decorative scheme in a grand Venetian residence and as an original composition that has no equivalent in the rich corpus of 18th-century Venetian aristocratic furniture.

Our pair of armchairs lies at the intersection of several trends characteristic of late 17th-century Venice: an enduring taste for the exotic, the final flourish of the Baroque, a creative effervescence in the field of sculpture, but also inventive reinterpretations and the gradual adaptation of furniture to the evolving demands of both comfort and representation. From this perspective, the hypothesis that they were commissioned for the music room of a Venetian palace seems particularly plausible: the presence of the musician figures, the theatricality of the structure and the richness of the decoration suggest a space dedicated to aristocratic socialising, where the furniture, much like the musical performance itself, plays a full part in showcasing the patron’s taste and status. These seats, both functional objects and sculpted works, thus encapsulate the Venetian ambition to turn everyday life into a veritable spectacle of refinement, where art, music and social prestige come together in a single sensory experience.

Meet the guardians of our Wunderkammer: a Pair of putti in armour, image of the German Renaissance's taste for fantasy and mischief.

Circa 1520-1550
H. 39 ; H. 39,5 cm.


Unlike Italian examples, which are characterised by a reserved and controlled expression, less playful than their northern counterparts, similar representations of putti in Germany are primarily characterised by their naturalism and often appear as mischievous as angelic children. Here, our Armored putti were conceived as a pair with strong Mannerist accents, standing in a highly dynamic contrapposto pose with each one arm raised towards the sky. In a playful reinterpretation of classical mythology, the traditional deities are transformed into youthful warrior figures reflecting the German Renaissance's taste for fantasy and mischief: their hands once resting on shields and holding spears, their torsos clad in metal armor engraved with foliage and flowers, their heads adorned with an unusual vegetal headdress discreetly covering their hair... With their princely bearing, richly dressed and protected by shoulder, elbow and knee guards, our figures join the particularly restricted corpus of Putti in armor made of wood and close in style to the art of Hans Schwarz (1492 - after 1521), Hans Peisser (circa 1505 - in 1571) or even Adolph Daucher (1486-1538), whose exceptional series formerly adorning the balustrade of the Fugger Chapel in Augsburg, now in the Bode Museum in Berlin, stands out here as a significant parallel. Rare examples of a type of Northern Renaissance sculpture from the era of Albrecht Dürer, our Pair of Putti in armour is linked in style to the talented and refined schools of Augsburg and Nuremberg, among which its creator undoubtedly figures.
