EXHIBITION: THE FIGURINES, A PASSION BORN IN THE 19TH CENTURY
Exhibition: The figurines, a passion born in the 19th century - Wintzenheim
This exhibition depicts the craftsmanship in vogue during the 19th century … that of a diverse selection of historic figurines in all shapes and forms.
Diversity of materials, techniques and formats used (paper, metal, plastic, wood, earth … flat, in ronde-bosse, etc), diversity of themes dealt with, at a time where the industrial revolution, the rise of public education and the beginning of leisure-time were significantly modifying the production of these “scale models”.
Blending history, the imaginary and art, this exhibition reveals how these historic figurines were used in general education to re-create specific paintings and events: tin soldiers taking action during the most famous battles, including that of 1870, to the fights against the Indians from the Far West, to the colonial epic etc.
