This exquisite hand-painted Royal Vienna vase lamp, signed “F. Koller,” beautifully captures a classical courtship scene inspired by Greco-Roman ideals of beauty and romance. The composition features a young man draped in a deep crimson robe — symbolizing passion and love — gently courting a woman dressed in pure white, emblematic of innocence and reason.
Such chromatic and emotional contrasts were characteristic of 19th-century European art, reflecting the period’s fascination with idealized love and harmonious balance.
Executed with remarkable finesse, the painting rests on a cobalt-blue ground richly adorned with raised gilt scrollwork and acanthus motifs. The piece was later converted into an elegant lamp, seamlessly blending artistic heritage and functional design.
A refined testament to the enduring grace of Royal Vienna craftsmanship.
這件來自十九世紀末的皇家維也納瓷燈（Royal Vienna Porcelain Vase Lamp），由畫師 F. Koller 手繪，描繪了一幕受希臘羅馬理想美與愛情精神啟發的古典求愛場景。 畫面中，男子披著深紅長袍（象徵熱情與愛），女子穿著白袍（象徵純潔與理性）。這類對比在十九世紀歐洲繪畫中常用來表現 「愛慕與純潔的結合」，營造出優雅而節制的浪漫氛圍。以細膩的筆觸與柔和的色調描繪出含蓄而動人的情感，是維也納瓷畫特有的優雅風格。
瓶身以深紅與淡紫釉地，飾以金彩浮雕的渦卷與橡葉紋飾，筆觸精緻細膩。中央畫面以幾何金框勾勒，層次細膩。此件作品後期改製為檯燈，但仍完整保留其原有的藝術價值與工藝細節，兼具古典收藏性與生活美學。
整體氣質高貴典雅，充分體現了十九世紀晚期奧匈帝國時期的瓷藝風華與審美精髓的典雅之作。
