Annonce de chercheur : Les poteries « genre Palissy » au XIXe siècle en France
A doctoral candidate in art history, Mariette Boudgourd, has announced a public call for information to aid her research on 19th-century French ceramics in the 'genre Palissy' style. Her thesis aims to define the corpus of these works, analyzing their production techniques, market diffusion, and the construction of the myth surrounding the Renaissance potter Bernard Palissy.
This research matters because it seeks to illuminate a poorly understood area of French 19th-century ceramic heritage. By examining the intersections of art, science, and industry, and the national and international circulation of knowledge and objects, the study will provide a comprehensive view of this significant artistic movement and its place within broader European and American contexts.
