EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Furstenberg or Volkstedt documentary rocaille plaque from the 18th century. Measuring 17.5 cm in width, this porcelain masterpiece is held in a private collection and offers a glimpse into German School artistry of the time. The intricately painted scene depicted on the plaque takes place within a basilica, with Christ standing amidst prominent figures such as a pope, three cardinals, and three Jesuits. The conversation between Christ and the Jesuits is captured beautifully: "Ich habe euch noch nie erkant weichet" (I did not recognize you recede), to which the pope responds with "Welches Wunder vor unsern Augen" (what a wonder in front of our eyes). Encased within an elaborate gilt rocaille frame inscribed with "La Cassation de l'ordre J. C" and "Sous le regne Clemence XIV" this piece commemorates the suppression of the Jesuit order during Clement XIV's reign. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its ornate design and meticulous attention to detail. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the religious context but also highlights elements of oppression, history, decoration, and ornamentation prevalent during that era. It serves as both an artistic treasure and an invaluable document for those interested in interior design, religious iconography, or simply appreciating fine craftsmanship from centuries past.
