Nicolas Dodin was one of the most talented and revered painters at the Vincennes factory and then Sèvres, his career spanning forty-nine years from 1754 until 1803. His technique was unrivalled and he worked on many of the factory’s most important productions, including the Louis XVI blue ground service with scenes taken from mythology and Greek and Roman history. He specialised in figure painting and was especially renowned for his draughtsmanship, subtle palette, shading and richness of detail in his compositions. His diverse subjects were inspired by a broad range of sources.
