Variation,Vanitas,and Meta-Picture:An Interpretation of the Blue and White Porcelain Bowls with the Pattern of"Dongpo's Tour at Red Cliff"in Jacques Linard's Still Life Paintings
In the 17th century,French painter Jacques Linard executed a series of still life paintings over thirteen years,consistently featuring a blue and white porcelain bowl adorned with the motif of"Dongpo's Tour at Red Cliff."This repeated motif emerged as a symbolic element within his works exploring themes of the"five senses"and"vanitas."Due to the divergent cultural and artistic contexts of China and the West,the depicted porcelain bowls exhibit a transformation in function,decoration,and significance.These alterations not only shift the representation of"Dongpo's Tour at Red Cliff"from its literary origins to a purely visual form but also imbue the motif with new layers of meaning.Consequently,Linard's works,particularly Porcelana china con flores,prominently display characteristics of a"meta-picture"or"meta-painting."
