拍品專文

Jean-Louis Richter was born in Geneva in 1766 and learned his art from Etienne and Philippe-Samuel-Théodore Roux. He is perhaps the most well known and regarded enamel painter of the early 19th century, specialised in working on gold boxes. He is most renowned for his lakeside and alpine landscapes and is credited with developing the technique of using a translucent background over rayed engine-turning to create the impression of a sun-lit sky. See H. Boeckh, 'Jean-Louis Richter, peintre genevois sur émail (1766-1841): son mode de travail et le choix de ses motifs', Geneva, n.s., XXXI, 1983, pp. 101-119.
