ADFAS Canberra Guest: Clare Blatherwick Lecture
The Use of Naturalism in the Work of Fabergé
The name Fabergé conjures up images of pre-revolutionary Russia, the most opulent Easter Eggs ever produced and exquisite pieces found in the most important collections in the world. Clare will discuss the use of naturalism in the work of Fabergé focusing on the lesser-known experiments in Art Nouveau, and animal representations in hardstone carvings and the flower studies that the firm excelled in. She will also look at the naturalistic imagery incorporated into objects d'art such as desk seals and caviar dishes.
