Painting Scene In Bas Relief In Grisaille 18th By Piat Joseph Sauvage

Low relief scene in 18th century grisaille by Piat Joseph Sauvage. The quality of Piat-Joseph Sauvage's decorative and ornamental work has made the Tournaisien's reputation. First painter to the Prince of Condé Louis-Joseph de Bourbon, then to the King of France Louis XVI, the Walloon painter magnified the interiors of a number of castles and palaces during the last years of the Ancien Régime. Compiègne and Fontainebleau (around ten grisaille above-doors), Rambouillet (grisailles representing the Four Seasons for the Dairy), Saint-Cloud, Chantilly bear on their walls the signature of Piat-Joseph Sauvage, a specialist in bas- trompe-l'oeil reliefs in grisaille representing allegorical figures and children's games in the style of Bouchardon and Clodion.
