- A RARE LEONARD MOREL-LADEUIL (1820-1888)
A RARE LEONARD MOREL-LADEUIL (1820-1888) BELLE EPOQUE F...A RARE LEONARD MOREL-LADEUIL (1820-1888) BELLE EPOQUE FIRE GILT BRONZE EWER
Dance of the Wilis
Continental, mid-19th century, bronze. Crowned with the figure of an owl with outstretched wings at the top of the handle overlooking the ewer adorned in Art Nouveau fashion with cattails, lily pads, and nine wilis, a reclining figure across the shoulder of the vessel (Myrtha) playing kymbala.
A scene after the ballet Giselle, depicting the wilis, who are spirits of young virgins betrayed by men and having died of heartbreak, take revenge in the night by dancing men to death by exhaustion.
Léonard Morel-Ladeuil (1820 - 15 March 1888), French goldsmith and sculptor, was born at Clermont-Ferrand, and would be regarded as one of the most expert of French chasers, and a pioneer in the art of repousse, as well as master to Tiffany silversmith Eugene J. Soligny. He was apprenticed first to Morel, a manufacturer of bronzes, then to Antoine Vechte, and quickly absorbed the skill of both. He studied further under JJ Fuchre, during which time he caught the eye of the comte d'Orsay and the duc de Morny, through whose recommendation the French government, desirous of popularizing the idea of the new Imperialism, commissioned him to produce the Empire Shield.
Napoleon III notified his warm approval, but the trade, annoyed that a craftsman should obtain commissions direct, resented the innovation and thenceforward boycotted the young artist, whose newest work and the piece offered, Dance of the Willis none would take. He was encouraged, nevertheless by a foreign dealer in Paris, Marché, who employed him on statuettes, mainly religious in character, until 1859, when Messrs Eikington, in view of the Great Exhibition of 1862, engaged him to work for Elkington Silversmiths in Birmingham for three years in repoussé.
Following his silver "Night came Day," and then the "Inventions" vase, which placed him at once at the top of his profession, came the beautiful plateau called "Dreams," which was subscribed for (£500) by Birmingham as the town wedding-gift to the prince and princess of Wales. Morel-Ladeuil's contract was then renewed for five years, though in full he spent twenty-three years at their London house. His masterpiece the "Milton Shield: Paradise Lost", in repoussé steel and silver, was the sensation of the Paris Exhibition. It was bought by the English government for £3000, and thousands of copies made by galvanoplastie or electrotype were sold and spread all over the world. Another masterpiece, the "Helicon Vase", was presented by the ladies and gentlemen of the royal house to Queen Victoria on her first jubilee. Decorated with gold damascening by the Spanish craftsman Plácido Zuloaga, it was described on its exhibition as "one of the greatest Art productions of the century". For the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876 Morel-Ladeuil produced "A Pompeian Lady at her Toilet," followed by the "Bunyan Shield," a companion to the Milton. After the reliefs "The Merry Wives of Windsor," "The Merchant of Venice," and "Much Ado about Nothing," and suffering from poor health, Morel-Ladeuil retired to Boulogne, where he died of angina pectoris on 15 March 1888, and was buried with much ceremony at Clermont-Ferrand.
