The predecessor of modern chess was probably chaturanga, a game which developed in India around 500 AD. Pieces lined up on the eight-by-eight squares in imitation of the structure of the Indian army, in four military formations: infantry, battle elephants, cavalry and battle chariots. The army was led by the raja, the king and the general. The game came to Europe via the Arabs, and by the 18th century this strategic intellectual game had become one of the most popular leisure pastimes at court. At the same time, an anecdote spread in European circles which proved the inventiveness and mathematical ability of the inventor of the game. The unnamed scholar of mythical “ancient times” modestly requested from the raja a reward of grains of wheat: one on the first square of the board, two on the second, four on the third, and so on, twice as many on each successive square. The payment seemed very small, but the amount that would have been required on the 64th square was so enormous as to be unattainable. The squares of the Meissen chess board are painted purple and green with tiny square grids, and its edge is lavishly gilded. The squares of the initial positions are white octagons, and in all of these, on thirty-two fields are miniature pictures of Turkish infantry and cavalry, each shown in exquisite detail. The squares of the king and queen have half-figure representations of the Turkish emperor and empress, those of the knights galloping cavalrymen, and those of the rook, battle elephants. The pawn’s positions have representations of Turkish infantrymen. The figures, however, distinctive small sculptures by Johann Joachim Kandler (1706–1775), on little triangular bases, wear the clothes of European courts at that time. This chess set is the Meissen Porcelain Factory’s commemoration of the military success of the age, the victory of Europe over the Turkish Empire. The pawns hold their hats on their heads with both hands, the rook is a battle elephant, the knight a rearing horse, the queen an elegant, crowned lady, and the king wears armour. The complete Meissen chess set in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich has similar squares in the same colour scheme, but its chess pieces are ornate rocaille towers.

作家の略歴

Johann Joachim Kändler: The Architect of European Porcelain

Born in Fischbach, Germany, in 1706, Johann Joachim Kändler’s life was inextricably linked to the burgeoning world of Meissen porcelain. His early exposure to classical art and mythology—a legacy from his pastor father—would profoundly shape his artistic vision. He began his apprenticeship under Johann Benjamin Thomae, a prominent Dresden sculptor, absorbing not only technical skills but also a deep appreciation for Greco-Roman aesthetics. This foundation proved crucial as he would later become the most influential modeller of Meissen porcelain, arguably shaping the entire landscape of European ceramics during the 18th century.

Kändler’s journey to Meissen began in 1731, where he joined the prestigious factory and quickly rose through the ranks. Initially assisting Johann Jacob Kirchner, he assumed leadership in 1733, a position he held until his death in 1775. This remarkable forty-year tenure wasn’t merely a job; it was a period of intense creative exploration and systematic refinement. He didn't just sculpt; he engineered an entire aesthetic for the factory, establishing standards that would define Meissen’s reputation for elegance and detail for decades to come.

The Sculptor’s Palette: Technique and Influences

Kändler’s work is characterized by a remarkable blend of observation, technical mastery, and artistic sensibility. He initially drew inspiration from the natural world, creating animal groups—jays with squirrels, woodpeckers with cockchafers—that were celebrated for their accuracy and a subtle, poignant beauty. These early pieces demonstrated a keen eye for detail and a sensitivity to texture and form, qualities that would remain central to his style.

However, Kändler’s artistic trajectory shifted dramatically as he became increasingly involved in court life under Frederick the Great of Prussia. This engagement led him to explore new themes—particularly the world of commedia dell'arte—resulting in a series of charming and evocative figurines that captured the spirit of theatrical performance. The “Monkey Band,” created in 1753, stands as a testament to this shift, embodying Enlightenment ideals of freedom and reason through its playful depiction of a musical ensemble.

Crucially, Kändler’s influence extended beyond mere aesthetic choices. He meticulously oversaw the entire process of porcelain production, from initial modelling to mould creation and quality control. His appointment as arcanist—a role encompassing technical expertise and secret knowledge—demonstrates his profound understanding of the materials and processes involved in creating this delicate art form. The Swan Service for Heinrich von Brühl, a lavish table setting featuring exquisitely detailed figures, exemplifies Kändler’s mastery of both design and production.

A Legacy Forged in Porcelain

Kändler's impact on European porcelain is immeasurable. He didn’t simply produce beautiful objects; he established a system—a style—that dominated the industry for over half a century. His early sculptures, with their emphasis on naturalism and emotional depth, set a new standard of excellence. The shift towards theatrical figures reflected a broader cultural trend, demonstrating Kändler's ability to adapt his artistic vision to changing tastes.

His work is found in the world’s most prestigious museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London. The enduring popularity of Meissen porcelain—and its continued association with Kändler’s name—testifies to his lasting legacy as the architect of European porcelain art. He remains a pivotal figure in the history of sculpture and ceramics, a testament to the power of observation, skill, and artistic vision.
