Jérémie Pauzié (1716 – 1779 in Geneva.) was a Swiss-French diamond jeweller, artist and memoirist, best known for his work for the Russian Imperial court and his main masterpiece – the Imperial Crown of Russia, that was commissioned for the coronation of Empress Catherine the Great (1762). The Coronation crown by Jérémie Pauzié was later used for coronations by all Russian Emperors till the death of the last Romanov, Nicholas II of Russia in 1918. Jérémie Pauzié was one of the first diamond craftsmen and goldsmiths of his time, working under the patronage of three Russian Empresses – Empress Anna of Russia, Empress Elizabeth of Russia and most notably, Catherine the Great. He is considered to be one of the main influences on the European art and jewellery makers, inspiring the work of Louis-David Duval, Krag, J-P Ador and, later that of Birbaum, Louis Cartier and Carl Faberge == The Diamond Master == Jérémie Pauzié was born in 1716 in Geneva to a family of French Huguenots Étienne Pauzié and Suzanne Bouverot, and was one of six children. In 1729 Jérémie Pauzié moved to Russia with his father Étienne to join his uncle Pierre, who was a surgeon at the royal court of Peter II. The family traveled to St Petersburg by foot through Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. After serving a short time in the army in the northern city of Arkhangelsk (1730 -1731) and following the death of his father, young Jérémie Pauzié gained an apprenticeship under the Parisian precious stone cutter Benoît Gravereaus, where he learned his craft for the next seven years (1732–39). Young Jérémie Pauzié surpassed his teacher, he caught the attention of Empress Anna, and in 1740 he left Gravereaus to open his own workshop.〔 Throughout his working life (1740-1764) Pauzié, who held the title Principal Diamond Expert and Court Jeweller, made jewellery and gifts for the Russian nobility, courtiers and the Imperial family. He recorded his life in the book of ‘Memoirs of a Court Jeweller Pauzié, published by the Russian history journal ‘Russkaya Starina’ in 1870. He became renowned for his own craftsmanship and aesthetic, and most notably for his main masterpiece – the Great Imperial Crown of Russia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jérémie Pauzié」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
