PierrePhilippe Thomire nasceu em Paris Frana em 6

Pierre-Philippe Thomire nasceu em Paris, França, em 6 de dezembro de 1751. Foi um escultor de bronze, o mais proeminente produtor de objetos ornamentais e móveis do Primeiro Império francês. Em 1765, Thomire estudou escultura na “Académie de Saint-Luc” e recebeu seu treinamento na oficina de Pierre Gouthière, o excelente ciseleur-doreur parisiense que trabalhava no estilo Luís XVI, antes de estabelecer sua própria loja em 1776. Thomire começou a colaborar com Jean-Claude-Thomas Duplessis, o diretor artístico da “Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory”. Quando Duplessis morreu em 1783, Thomire assumiu o cargo, tornando-se responsável por todas as decorações em bronze dourado utilizados na produção da manufatura. Em 1783 -1784, ele recebeu sua primeira comissão notável: a fundição e acabamento em bronze dourado das alças modeladas por Boizot em um par de vasos de porcelana de Sèvres, atualmente exposto alternadamente entre o “Musée du Louvre” e “Palazzo Pitti”. Em 1806, exibiu e ganhou a medalha de ouro, na “Exposition Publique des Produits de l'Industrie” , sendo esta a primeira vez que permitiam a presença de um bronzier entre os expositores.

Em 1809, Thomire foi contratado para fornecer bronzes requintados para os palácios de Napoleão, e posteriormente foi nomeado para o cargo de “Ciseleur de l’Empereur”. Alguns anos mais tarde sua oficina ficou conhecida como “fournisseur de leurs Majestés”. Sua comissão mais prestigiada foi a execução do berço para o Rei de Roma, em Saint-Cloud, encomendado em 1811, pelo prefeito de Seine Frochot, em nome da cidade de Paris, e que foi projetado por Pierre Paul Prud’hon. Thomire também executou ornamentos para o berço do rei de Roma no Tuileries, nas coleções do “Musée Napoléon” do “Fontainebleau Château”. A oficina de Thomire sobreviveu à queda de Napoleão, e ele continuou a ganhar medalhas e honrarias nas famosas exposições parisienses. Faleceu em Paris, em 9 de junho de 1843.

Biography: Pierre-Phillipe Thomire was born in Paris, France, on December 6, 1751. He was a French bronze sculptor, the most prominent producer of ornamental objects and furniture of the First French Empire. In 1765, Theodore studied sculpture at the “Académie de Saint Luc” and had received his training at the workshop of Pierre Gouthière, the outstanding Parisian ciseleurdoreur who worked in the Louis XVI style before establishing his own shop in 1776. Thomire began to collaborate with Jean-Claude-Thomas Duplessis, the artistic director of the “Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory”. When Duplessis died in 1783, Thomire assumed the leading post, and became responsible for all decorations in gilt-bronze used in the production of manufacturing. In 1783 -1764 he received his first notable commission: to cast bronze and gold finish on the handles modeled by Boizot on a pair of porcelain vases of Sèvres, currently exposed alternatively between the “Musée du Louvre” and “Palazzo Pitti”. In 1806 he exhibited and won a gold medal in the “Exposition Publique des Produits de l’Industrie”, the first time that was allowed the presence of a bronzier along exhibitors.

In 1809, Thomire was hired to provide exquisite bronzes to the palaces of Napoléon, and was subsequently appointed to the position of “Ciseleur of l’Empereur”. Some years later his workshop became known as “fournisseur of leurs Majestés”. His most prestigious commission was the execution of the cradle to the King of Rome, in Saint-Cloud, commisisioned in 1811 by the mayor of Seine Frochot, on behalf of the city of Paris, and was projected by Pierre Paul Prud’hon. Thomire also performed ornaments for the cradle to the King of Rome at the Tuileries, in the collections of the “Musée Napoléon” in the “Fontainebleau Château”. The Thomire workshop survived the fall of Napoléon and he continued to win medals and honors in the famous Parisian exhibitions. He died in Paris, on June 9, 1843.
