Porcelain Painting [Still Life of Flowers in a Vase]

Porcelain paintings were produced in the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna in the first half of the 19th century by students of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, who also worked in the school of painting at the manufactory. One of the most famous students is Josef Nigg (1782–1863) who was guided by copies of Dutch paintings from the 17th century for his still lifes of flowers, which were painted in enamel colors and subsequently fired again.
