拍品专文


Princess Maria Tenisheva (1867-1928), was a famous artist, collector and important patron of the arts in Russia. She studied at the Central School for Technical Drawing under Tsionglinsky and Repin and at the Académie Julian in Paris. Tenisheva is perhaps best remembered for founding the artistic settlement on her estate of Talashkino, near Smolensk, which was to become one of the most important artistic centres of Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Talashkino, initially under the guidance of the artist, architect, and designer Malyutin (1859-1937), fostered the study and revival of Russian applied and decorative arts and the emerging Neo-Russian style, much in the same way as Abramtsevo, located outside of Moscow. The workshops were frequented by Russia's best and brightest artists, including Vrubel, Roerich, Alexander and Albert Benois, Nesterov, Korovin, Repin, and Troubetzkoy.

The present lot reflects Tenisheva's fascination with enamelling techniques and Neo-Russian design elements. According to Jesco Oser, this casket is one of the latest pieces produced by Maria Tenisheva.
