Description

A Meissen porcelain figure of the dancing Harlequin From the series of commedia dell`arte figures produced for Duke Johann Adolf II of Saxony-Weissenfels. With finely painted features and mi-parti justacorps with a playing card pattern. Unglazed base, blue crossed swords mark on the reverse. The little finger restored. H 14.7 cm. Model by Johann Joachim Kaendler and Peter Reinicke, April 1744, produced soon after. This figure appears in Kaendler`s workshop records for April 1744 with the entry "A Harlequin, also belonging to the Italian comedy, corrected, cut and ready to be modelled." (Pietsch, Leipzig 2002, p. 102). Duke Johann Adolf II of Saxony Weißenfels (1685 - 1745), referred to by Kaendler as "His Serene Highness the Duke of Weißenfels", commissioned a number of figures of this kind. The Francophile prince decided early on to pursue a military career. His cousin King August II of Saxony appointed him to the Saxon-Polish service in 1711. After his death in 1733, he helped his successor, King August III, to secure the Polish kingship, which he succeeded in doing by defeating Stanislaus I Leszczynski in 1736. The groups of commedia dell`arte figures were ordered and executed in Meissen between the First and Second Silesian Wars, in which he played a major role. They represented a spectacular success for the sculptural achievement of the manufactory, for as three-dimensional figures they were only partly based on or inspired by engraved prototypes. Much of the work on the figures was therefore done by the sculptors themselves, such as Peter Reinicke and Johann Joachim Kaendler in this case. Literature Cf. Jansen (ed.), Commedia dell`Arte Fest der Komödianten. Keramische Kostbarkeiten aus den Museen der Welt, Stuttgart-Düsseldorf 2001, cat. no. 38, described there as "Hanswurst". Tanzender Harlekin aus der Serie der italienischen Komödienfiguren für Johann Adolf II. Herzog von S Porzellan, farbiger Aufglasurdekor, Vergoldung. Sehr feine Gesichtsstaffierung, der Justaucorps mit Mi-parti-Dekor und Kartenspiel. Abgestrichener Boden, Blaumarke Schwerter hinten. Der kleine Finger restauriert. H 14,7 cm. Meissen, das Modell von Johann Joachim Kaendler und Peter Reinicke, April 1744, die Ausformung zeitnah. In Kaendlers Arbeitsbericht taucht diese Figur im April 1744 auf mit dem Eintrag "Einen Arlequin Ebenfalls zur Italienischen Comödie gehörig, corrigiret und zerschnitten und zum abformen gegeben." (Pietsch, Leipzig 2002, S. 102). Der Auftraggeber für eine Reihe von Figuren dieses Themas war Johann Adolf II. Herzog von Sachsen Weißenfels (1685 - 1745), von Kaendler als "Ihro Durchl. dem Hertzog Von Weißen Fels" bezeichnet. Der frankophile Fürst entschloss sich schon früh für die militärische Laufbahn. Sein Vetter August II. König von Sachsen berief ihn 1711 in sächsisch-polnische Dienste. Nach dessen Tod 1733 half er dem Nachfolger, König August III., die polnische Königswürde zu sichern, was ihm durch den Sieg über Stanislaus I. Leszczynski 1736 gelang. Die Figurengruppen wurden zwischen dem Ersten und Zweiten Schlesischen Krieg, an deren Durchführungen er maßgeblich beteiligt war, in Meissen geordert und ausgeführt. Für die bildhauerische Leistung der Manufaktur stellten sie einen spektakulären Erfolg dar, denn sie entstanden als dreidimensionale Plastiken nur teilweise nach bzw. inspiriert von Stichfolgen. Vieles war also Eigenleistung der Bossierer, wie in diesem Fall Peter Reinicke und Johann Joachim Kaendler. Literatur Vgl. Jansen (Hg), Commedia dell`Arte Fest der Komödianten. Keramische Kostbarkeiten aus den Museen der Welt, Stuttgart-Düsseldorf 2001, Kat. Nr. 38, dort als "Hanswurst".
