Savoy History Lecture by Dionisio Cimarelli: The Intersection of Chinese and European Porcelain Art

This brief video captures the 15th Annual Savoy History Lecture and Reception, presented by renowned Italian sculptor Dionisio Cimarelli. Held on November 7, 2017, at the prestigious University Club of New York City, this lecture was organized by the American Foundation of Savoy Orders. In his lecture titled "Porcelain Sculpture at the Courts of Savoy: The Fascinating Story of China’s Influence in Italy and the West," Cimarelli explores the critical role of the Savoy House in the development of porcelain art in Europe, from the 18th century to the first half of the 20th century. The lecture delves into the history, styles, and aesthetics of porcelain, with a special focus on Chinoiserie—Europe's adaptation and imitation of Chinese artistic traditions. Drawing from his extensive experience in China, Dionisio Cimarelli shares insights from his time in Jingdezhen, a city known for its porcelain production since the Tang Dynasty. He discusses the traditional Chinese techniques and colors he employed in his own work, as well as his contemporary creative process. The lecture concludes with Cimarelli's discussion of his monumental bust of the Jesuit Matteo Ricci, created for the Italy Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Ricci's death. This work exemplifies the fusion of Chinese and European artistic influences that Cimarelli masterfully brings to life in his sculptures. #DionisioCimarelli, #SavoyLecture, #PorcelainArt, #CulturalExchange
