Ontwerpen voor diverse bronzen voorwerpen c. 1830 - 1850

These sketches for various bronze objects were created by Firma Feuchère. The drawings, rendered in pencil on paper, offer a glimpse into the design process behind decorative bronze work. The composition is fragmented; various sketches are collaged together. Note how the designs emphasize symmetry and proportion, reflecting a classical approach to aesthetics. We see variations of candlesticks and ornate fittings with swirling foliate patterns. The cross-sections reveal the internal structure and volume of the objects, offering a multi-dimensional view. These views serve a functional purpose: they enable the craftsmen to execute the designs accurately in bronze. The designs embody a play between form and function, characteristic of decorative arts. The emphasis on ornamentation and detail reflects the artistic sensibilities of the time. The sketches highlight the importance of drawing as a tool for visualizing and communicating design ideas. It allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistic vision behind these bronze creations.
