Vase

Sabancı Üniversitesi Sakıp Sabancı Müzesi (Emirgan, İstanbul, Türkiye)

This vase is of a pair with the vase bearing the inventory number 400-0090. It features gilt decorations on a turquoise ground colour. Each side features a painted scene contained within a gilded oval frame. On the front is a hunting scene, while the back features a lake landscape, with the signature ‘Leber’ on the bottom right corner. The hunting scene is an adaptation of Rendez-vous de chasse (The Hunters’ Gathering), dated 1726, attributed to the Dutch painter Carel van Falens. This painting by van Falens, who was known for his hunting scenes, is today in the Louvre Museum’s collection.

The painting on the front of the vase depicts three figures with their horses and dogs, in front of a partially visible house. A woman and a man holding a hawk are pictured on their horses, while a young man stands between them, holding his horse by the reins. This adaptation is a mirror image of van Falens’s painting, however, the artist ‘Leber’ has chosen to only depict the central figures of the original artwork.

The vase’s lid is topped with a gilt bronze finial in the shape of an acorn. Two ram’s heads on either side of the vase connect the gilt bronze handles to the main body. The vase’s lid, neck and foot are decorated with gilded foliate motifs. The corners of the gilt bronze plinth feature relief decorations of flowers and leaves.
