Calvaire : la Vierge
Description
En 1710, à Meissen (Saxe), Auguste le Fort implante la première manufacture de porcelaine d'Europe grâce à la découverte du kaolin, élément indispensable à sa fabrication.#Cette composition regroupe de manière traditionnelle le Christ en croix au pied duquel se trouvent Marie-Madeleine, la Vierge et Saint Jean. Le calvaire aurait été donné par Marie-Josèphe de Saxe à l'abbaye royale de Saint-Cyr, avant 1767. Des cendres retrouvées dans une enveloppe portant le nom de Mme de Maintenon avaient été déposées à l'intérieur de calvaire.
