Cartel clock

Jacques Caffierica. 1741

Rijksmuseum

Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

The renowned artist Caffieri signed the case of this cartel (or wall) clock, just like a painter signs a painting. The asymmetrical Rococo case shows the figure of Diana, goddess of the moon, looking down tenderly upon the sleeping Endymion. They are set in an imaginary framework of rocailles, plants, architectural elements and abstract motifs.
