A Chinese famille rose plate with Johanneum mark, ex-coll. August the Strong, Yongzheng -- Dia.: 22 cmÊ Condition: (UV-checked) - A rim section broken out and restuck between 5 and 6.30 o'clock, the break retouched. Otherwise in good condition.Ê Provenance: With an engraved inventory number from the collection of August the Strong.Ê Saxon elector and Polish king Augustus the Strong was a major proponent of porcelain in the early 18thcentury. His love for the material drove him to imprison a talented young alchemistnamed Johann Friedrich Böttger in hopes of finding the formula for white porcelain, which at that time was a secret known only in China and Japan.Ê When Böttger perfected the recipe for porcelain in 1709, Augustus the Strong quickly founded the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory-the first porcelain manufactory in Europe-revolutionizing the porcelain market worldwide. He eventually amassed what is still the largest collection of Chinese and Japaneseporcelain in the West, and began plans fora palace built to store the royal collection-an ambition that ultimately remained a dream.Ê The number of Chinese and Japanese porcelain Augustus the Strong collected grew to 29,000 until his death in 1733. Roughly 8000 pieces from his collection are still preserved in Dresden. They are actually the subject of a major cataloguing, digitization, and research project of the Dresden Porcelain Collection, something experts from all over the world are working on. The remaining third can be considered as a representative cross section of the original collection. The other pieces were dispersed throughout the world in many different ways: In the 19th century, when the Porcelain Collection tried to turn itself into a museum of world ceramics, so-called duplicates were sold or given away in exchanges. When Saxony became a republic in 1918, parts of the porcelain collection became public whereas others stayed with the royal family and were partly auctioned. More losses occurred during the Second World War, when the collections were moved to different repositories outside of Dresden and later to Russia, from where the biggest part returned to Dresden in 1958. Today, we can recognize the pieces originally in the collection of Augustus the Strong thanks to their historic inventory numbers. They are treasured objects in public as well as private collections and in the art market. -- Condition reports, high resolution images or extra images will be made available on request.

signed 'Nessler' (lower left) oil on canvas (Dimensions: 39.50cm x 50cm)(39.50cm x 50cm)Footnote: Provenance The Hertfordshire County Council 'Pictures For Schools' collection' Their sale; Cheffins, 21 March 2019, lot 6, where acquired by the present owner Born in Leipzig, Germany, Nessler began his artistic career at the Castelli Italian School of Art, Dresden. Despite not being Jewish, he strongly opposed National Socialism, and eventually moved to London in 1937, joining the British army shortly thereafter. After the war, he studied sculpture at St Martin's School of Art and travelled to Paris, meeting the likes of Cocteau, Sartre, Picasso, Giacometti and Matisse. French modernism, particularly Cubism, exerted a strong influence on his subsequent work. The bright colours and geometric planes used to depict the landscape surrounding Jersey, the subject of numerous works in the early 1950s, reveals the artist's optimistic post-war outlook. Nessler first exhibited his work at the Molon Gallery in 1961. He also took part in several group exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and commercial galleries in London, the provinces, and abroad. A retrospective of his work was held in 1990, which coincided with his increasing recognition in Germany. Nessler's works are now held in numerous public collections internationally.Condition report: Oil on canvas. On the reverse of the painting is an area of modern adhesive which appears to be a crude repair to a tear at the right of the painting. Around this area are raised flakes of paint. The area appears pink under ultraviolet light suggesting it may have been retouched or reworked following the damage. Quite extensive cracking throughout.
