Gallery de Potter d’Indoye
Piat-Joseph Sauvage (Tournai, 1744-1818) and Sormany, Optician Empire oil on panel with barometer and thermometer, early 19th century Oil on panel, gilded bronze H 87 x W 112 cm Signed: Sauvage et de Sormany, Palais Égalité Provenance: collection of Hubert de Givenchy; Galerie Moatti, Paris, 1994 The rectangular panel painted in trompe l'oeil depicts the allegories of the four seasons beside a sheath surmounted by a globe flanked by two putti, the dial of the enamelled barometer is signed Sormany Palais Egalité, the thermometer inscribed in the sheath is signed Sormany Palais / Egalité n° 260, signed SAUVAGE in the plinth of the sheath, the frame is decorated with stars and stylised palmettes. This barometer-thermometer is a work of collaboration between Piat-Joseph Sauvage, painter and Sormany, optician. Piat-Joseph Sauvage, born in Tournai in Belgium, made a specialty of trompe-l'oeil paintingsat the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century. As a painter and decorator, he provided ornamentation for royal residences at the end of the reign of Louis XVI, such as Compiègne and Fontainebleau and the Hamlet of Marie Antoinette in Versailles, before turning to painting on porcelain and marble, working for the manufacture of Dihl and Guérhard then for that of Sèvres under the Empire. His compositions often represent friezes of putti, bacchanalia, mythological or allegorical scenes. The iconography of the Seasons developed here naturally refers to the function of this object, as a barometer and thermometer. Sormany was an optician installed in the Galerie de Bois of the Royal Palace (Palais Egalité under the Revolution and the Empire), as indicated by the inscriptions on the barometer and the thermometer. The old labels of this Sormany make it possible to describe its activity: "Palais Égalité n° 260 galerie de bois. / N° 260 Sormany opticien successeur de Catanyo vends toute sorte de lunettes (spectacle et autres) et tout ce qui concerne l’optique, mathématique physique et autres objets de curiosités, baromètres, thermomètres et pèse liqueurs. / Le tout à juste prix Paris." He seems to have been particularly recognised for his research on thermometers.
