Synopsis
A major new volume on the life of Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813), the celebrated Parisian gilder to the French kings., Pierre Gouthiere: Virtuoso Gilder at the French Court celebrates the life of Pierre Gouthiere (1732-1813), considered to be one of the best Parisian bronze chasers and gilders of the eighteenth-century. Gouthiere became gilder to Louis XV in 1767, and is credited with inventing a new type of gilding that left a matte finish-- dorure au mat --one of the hallmarks of his work. Although incredibly successful in his day, Gouthiere died in relative obscurity and poverty; unlike some of his contemporaries his works never regained popularity after the French Revolution. The inclusion of detailed entries and plates of forty-nine works positively attributed to Gouthiere, five essays by leading experts that examine Gouthiere's life, career, clientele, and gilding techniques, as well as examples of his work from American, Polish, Portuguese, French, and British collections, ensure that this beautiful volume is an invaluable new resource on Gouthiere. The only other volume on this master was published in 1912, and is now long out of print., Pierre Gouthière: Virtuoso Gilder at the French Court celebrates the life of Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813), considered to be one of the best Parisian bronze chasers and gilders of the eighteenth-century.
