Wall Clock 1735 - 1740

This elaborate wall clock, created by German artist Jean Pierre Latz between 1735 and 1740, is a prime example of the Rococo style. The clock's intricate, asymmetrical design features elaborate scrolls, delicate floral motifs, and a playful figure of Cupid atop the clock face. The use of gilt bronze throughout enhances the clock's luxurious appeal and creates a sense of grandeur. Currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, the clock stands as a testament to Latz's skilled craftsmanship and the enduring beauty of the Rococo era.
