Step into the world of Luigi Fabris, where artistry and history blend seamlessly in the form of porcelain. This particular piece, a polychrome figural grouping from the 1920's, is a testament to Fabris' unparalleled skill and the rich heritage of Italian ceramics. The traditional Capodimonte craftsmanship, renowned for its intricate designs and attention to detail, comes to life in this piece, further enhanced by the delicate Dresden lace techniques that add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Fabris' work captures the essence of 18th-century Venetian society with its portrayal of a bourgeoisie courting couple, exquisitely dressed and frozen in a moment of romantic pursuit. The woman's voluminous gown, a masterpiece in itself, showcases Fabris' ability to create texture and depth with its hand-sculpted lace and gilt embellishments. The lifelike expressions he has captured on the couple's faces speak volumes of their clandestine affair, with the woman's coy smile hinting at the depth of the emotions shared.
The use of semi-gloss porcelain and underglaze techniques by Fabris ensures that the vibrancy of the colors and the intricacy of the patterns stand the test of time. The floral patterns on the woman's dress, the stone bench, and the bocage style flowers are all depicted with such precision and clarity that they almost invite the onlooker into the scene.
