Pattipan met een veelkleurig landschap in een medaillon uitgespaard in een geometrisch patroon c. 1759 - 1771

This pattipan with a landscape, was created at the Weesper porseleinfabriek. Observe the vibrant geometric pattern, a maze of diamond shapes in lilac, each punctuated with a central dot. Geometrical shapes, like the labyrinth, tap into something deep within us. They symbolize order but also mystery. The central medallion presents a landscape, a pastoral scene with a solitary tree standing beside a modest house. Landscapes like these, seemingly simple, often echo deeper desires for harmony with nature. Consider how similar motifs appear across various cultures and periods. The tree of life, for example, is not unique to one belief system. It's a recurring symbol of growth, connection, and the cyclical nature of life. The longing for a simpler, more natural existence speaks to an emotional undercurrent. The landscape connects us to a collective memory, a shared yearning for a world untouched by modernity, a return to a harmonious state that resides in our subconscious. The symbolic journey of the forms reminds us of the cyclical, non-linear path of cultural memory.
