The Miller, his son and the donkey

Very limited edition

Oberkampf factory, Jouy-en-Josas, 1796-1806, cotton canvas printed with copper plate.

I present to you a Blue collection, like a museum piece straight out of the Jouy museum. This museum houses the precious archives of the famous and less famous Jouy toile prints.

The artist Jean-Baptiste Huet created numerous designs for Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, founder of the Oberkampf Manufactory, where 30,000 Toile de Jouy designs were printed. Among them, the canvas The Miller, His Son and the Donkey , inspired by La Fontaine's Selected Fables , illustrates Huet's animal talents and is part of Oberkampf's favorite pastoral themes. Printed in 1796, this canvas received the first-class gold medal at the Louvre exhibition in 1806, establishing Oberkampf as a pioneer of painted canvases in France. This motif was a great success.
