Jean-Baptiste Pillement
37,5 x 54,0 cm
In the field of Rococo chinoiseries, Jean Pillement became one of the most accomplished exponents of the genre, with prolific and successful production resulting from both, his talent as an artist and the fantasised manner in which he represented the supposed oriental compositions.
As major examples of his work in Portugal it is relevant to refer the paintings at the Palace of the Marquesses of Fronteira, in Lisbon, of great detail and refinement, and the frescoes at the Palaces of Seteais and of Ramalhão, both in Sintra.
No campo das chinoiseries rococó, Jean Pillement tornou-se um dos principais expoentes do género, com um prolífico e bem-sucedido trabalho, resultado do seu talento como artista e da forma fantasiada como imaginava as pretensas composições orientais.
Como exemplos importantes do seu trabalho em Portugal, lembramos aqui as pinturas do Palácio dos Marqueses de Fronteira, em Lisboa, cheias de pormenor e requinte, e os frescos dos Palácios de Seteais e do Ramalhão, ambos em Sintra.
