Untitled work

KIRSTEIN Jacques Frédéric (orfèvre) — KIRSTEIN : ?, 1765 ; ?, 1838 — 1st quarter 19th Century;2nd quarter 19th Century

School : Strasbourg

Description

Argent, métal doré et verre ; Médaillon circulaire en argent fondu serti dans un cadre doré à moulures de palmettes. Verre bombé moderne. Ce médaillon devait primitivement orner un couvercle de boîte en écaille. Vue de l'église de Truttenhausen avec, au premier plan, une scène champêtre réunissant autour d'un berger jouant de la trompe et d'une porteuse de hotte, un troupeau de vaches, une brebis, un bélier et un bouc. Cette composition bucolique rappelle les vues romantiques d'Alsace d'un Jean-Jacques Rothmuller, associant scène pastorale et ruine médiévale. Le recueil de dessins de J. F. Kirstein conservé au Cabinet des Estampes et des Dessins contient un esquisse au trait de cette même vue, vraisemblablement réalisée sur un motif. Le sujet de l'église gothique en ruine constitue l'un des thèmes favoris des romantiques allemands et anglais. Le domaine de Truttenhausen, acquis auprès de la famille de Landsberg par le banquier strasbourgeois Bernard de Turckheim en 1806 est aménagé en parc à l'anglaise autour de l'élément central et 'pictoresque' que représente l'abbatiale en ruine.
