Paire de vases Médicis en fonte, godrons et lèvre à oves

La fonte se lit d'abord par sa peau : un noir profond qui s'écaille par endroits et laisse affleurer des rousseurs de rouille, surtout sur les côtes de la panse et sur le socle. La silhouette est celle, classique, du vase Médicis : une large lèvre évasée bordée d'oves, un col en corolle, une panse ceinte de godrons bombés, puis un piédouche resserré posé sur un socle carré. La lumière glisse sur les reliefs sans jamais briller. L'image montre l'un des deux vases de la paire.

À l'origine, un cratère de marbre sculpté à Athènes dans la seconde moitié du Ier siècle, inscrit en 1598 à l'inventaire de la villa Médicis, à Rome, puis transféré aux Offices de Florence en 1780. Sa forme a ensuite voyagé : bronze, porcelaine et autres matières l'ont reproduite pour les palais et les jardins d'Europe. En France, la fonte d'art a nourri ce goût, et le Val d'Osne, fondé en 1835 en Haute-Marne, devenu la première fonderie d'art décoratif du pays, s'est illustré par ses ornements de jardin d'inspiration antique. Aucun fondeur n'est nommé pour cette paire.

Cast iron announces itself through its skin: a deep black that flakes in places and lets russet patches of rust come through, above all on the ribs of the body and on the plinth. The silhouette is the classic Medici profile, a wide flared lip edged with egg moulding, a trumpet neck, a swelling body girdled with rounded gadroons, then a narrow stem set on a square base. Light slides over the relief without ever turning to shine. The image shows one of the two vases in the pair.

The model began as a marble krater carved in Athens in the second half of the first century AD, listed in 1598 in the inventory of the Villa Medici in Rome and moved to the Uffizi in Florence in 1780. Its form then travelled: bronze, porcelain and other materials reproduced it for the palaces and gardens of Europe. In France, the art foundries fed the same taste, and Val d'Osne, founded in 1835 in the Haute-Marne and grown into the country's leading decorative foundry, became known for garden ornaments after antique models. No founder is named for this pair.
