• Resumen

  • Jean Pillement appears somewhat as a legend as the ascriptions "in the style (or manner) of Pillement", "school of Pillement", "attributed to Pillement", and "after Pillement" are the most frequently used expressions related to his works in the literature on the subject of decorative arts. Such cautious attributions deserve a closer look. The purpose of the present study is twofold. First to provide significant illustrations Pillement's documented presence in the various fields of applied arts and, by the same token, to link, as much as possible, examples of his works with some of the countless interpretations which they inspired, ranging from exact copies to mere echoes.
