ALEXANDRE FRANCOIS DESPORTES. Still Life with Silver

ALEXANDRE FRANCOIS DESPORTES. Still Life with Silver. Artist: Alexandre François Desportes (French, Champigneulle 1661-1743 Paris). Dimensions: 103 x 73 3/4 in. (261.6 x 187.3 cm). Trained as a painter of animals and favored by both Louis XIV (1638-1715) and Louis XV (1710-1774), Desportes achieved fame not only for his hunting scenes but also for his opulent still lifes. This picture, probably painted in the 1720s, belongs to a type showing a buffet laden with an array of objects in silver, porcelain, and semi-precious stone as well as fruit--such as might have been displayed for a banquet. The objects may record actual pieces owned by the patron: the dragon-handled tureen and vermeil salvers are in the Régence style (ca. 1715-23).
