Daum Nancy
Circa 1900
This rectangular form “Paysage d’Hiver,” or "Winter Landscape," vase by Daum Nancy is a masterful interpretation of winter’s beauty, achieved through the meticulous layering and etching techniques for which Daum is renowned. The vase captures a dense forest scene, with birch trees stretching deep into the background, creating a profound sense of perspective. The horizon is framed by the graceful crowns of the birch trees, enhancing the depth and atmosphere of the landscape.
Visually, the vase is crafted with remarkable skill and attention to detail. The swirling background, achieved by layering cadmium yellow and orange powdered glass, creates a warm yet subdued glow, evoking the muted light of winter. The foreground trees are acid-etched, standing in sharp relief against the rich colors behind them. The use of clear glass with umber enamel allows the background hues to peek through, intensifying the scene’s vibrancy. Each branch is meticulously detailed with fine sable brushwork, while delicate touches of white enamel suggest a light dusting of snow, completing the wintery effect.
The Daum brothers, based in Nancy, France, were a leading force in the Art Nouveau movement, known for their innovative glassmaking techniques and expressive landscape compositions. “Paysage d’Hiver” exemplifies Daum's ability to blend technical skill with naturalistic themes, creating works that resonate with collectors and art lovers alike.
