Kändler - Johann Joachim Kändler

Japanese: ケンドラー - けんどらー(英語表記)Johann Joachim Kändler
Kändler - Johann Joachim Kändler

German potter. Born in Fischbach, Saxony. Invited to the Meissen Manufactory in 1733, he worked as a model maker (modelmeister) for the manufactory until his death, making a great contribution to the fame of Meissen. In particular, his lavish dinner set with colorful decorations on a white background, known as the Swan Service, and his small porcelain statuettes with motifs of characters from Italian comedies are masterpieces that reflect the Rococo taste of the time and had a great influence on the history of ceramics in the early modern period. He also created many life-size animal statues for the "Japanese Palace" planned by Augustus III, Duke of Saxony, but none of these remain in their original state. He also spent many years working on a huge porcelain equestrian statue for the king, which was left unfinished.

ドイツの陶工。ザクセンのフィッシュバッハ生まれ。1733年にマイセン窯に招かれ、以後、死に至るまで同窯の原型製作者(モデルマイスター)として活躍、マイセンの名声を高めるのに大きく貢献した。とくに、スワン・サービスとよばれる白地に多彩を施した豪華なディナー・セット、またイタリア喜劇の登場人物をモチーフとした磁器の小像群は、当時のロココ趣味を反映した秀作で、近世の陶磁史に大きな影響を与えた。ザクセン侯アウグスト3世の計画した「日本宮殿」のために多くの等身大の動物像も手がけたが、オリジナルの状態では現存していない。また同王の巨大な磁製騎馬像も、長い年月を費やしながら未完に終わった。
