Ses instruments sont tr\u00e8s recherch\u00e9s et appr\u00e9ci\u00e9s des musiciens, comme en atteste la liste de ses clients comprenant les plus illustres musiciens, de Charles Auguste de B\u00e9riot \u00e0 Eug\u00e8ne Ysa\u00ffe, en passant par Jean-Delphin Alard. \u00c0 ce dernier, Vuillaume mariera d&#8217;ailleurs sa fille. N\u00e9 \u00e0 Mirecourt, Jean-Baptiste est issu d\u2019une famille de luthiers \u0153uvrant depuis le XVII<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle. C\u2019est naturellement dans sa ville natale qu\u2019il d\u00e9bute sa formation en 1810, \u00e2g\u00e9 de seulement 12 ans. Nous n\u2019avons aucune certitude sur l\u2019identit\u00e9 de son ma\u00eetre qui aurait pu \u00eatre Joseph Chanot, Nicolas Mathieu ou Simoutre p\u00e8re. Malgr\u00e9 cette formation mirecurtienne, il ne fait pas carri\u00e8re dans sa ville et accepte, d\u00e8s 1818, de travailler \u00e0 Paris pour le compte de Fran\u00e7ois Chanot &#8211; r\u00e9cent d\u00e9positaire du brevet de perfectionnement du violon-guitare (24 octobre 1817). Il travaille avec lui une ann\u00e9e, avant d\u2019\u00eatre embauch\u00e9 par Nicolas Antoine L\u00e9t\u00e9, un facteur d\u2019orgues et homme d\u2019affaires qui obtient une m\u00e9daille \u00e0 l\u2019exposition de Paris de 1823 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un instrument de Vuillaume. Suite \u00e0 cela, notre luthier gagne le droit de num\u00e9roter et d\u2019inscrire son nom \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur des instruments et commence \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper ses propres cr\u00e9ations. Il s\u2019\u00e9tablit au 46 rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs \u00e0 partir de 1828.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Son ascension fut rapide et sa carri\u00e8re couronn\u00e9e de r\u00e9compenses des plus prestigieux concours.

La r\u00e9alisation du violon de la vente du 3 juin 2021 se situe pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque.

D\u00e8s cette \u00e9poque, la facture du violon italien s\u00e9duit particuli\u00e8rement et Stradivari est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le meilleur.

Toujours \u00e0 la recherche de la perfection, son travail de copie \u00e9tait \u00e9galement motiv\u00e9 par une volont\u00e9 de percer les secrets du ma\u00eetre et d\u2019am\u00e9liorer l\u2019instrument.

Considered as the greatest violin maker of the 19th century, he gave the French school of making the means to rival the greatest Italian masters. His sense of observation, keen eye for detail and scientific approach led him to produce instruments whose sound and technical qualities were unprecedented in French lutherie. The violin included in our sale of June 3, 2021 is the opportunity to revisit Vuillaume\u2019s career, which combined a fascination for the old masters with a thirst for new ideas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--10\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/catalogue-2021-06-01.02.03-quatuor.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catalog<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--11\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interencheres.com\/commissaire-priseur\/laurent-etienne-et-sarl-vichy-encheres-45\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">List of lots<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--12\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--13\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/en\/vichy-encheres-3\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Experts<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--14\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"#francais\">Version fran\u00e7aise<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The genius of the individual<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/portrait-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1860-687x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, 1860\" class=\"wp-image-12171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/portrait-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1860-687x1024.jpg 687w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/portrait-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1860-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/portrait-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1860-768x1145.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/portrait-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1860-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/portrait-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1860.jpg 820w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><figcaption>Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, 1860, by Moulin Workshop \u2014 Analogic, Domaine public<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume (1798-1875) is a violin maker generally considered as one of the best in history. His instruments are very sought-after and appreciated by musicians, as evidenced by his list of clients, which included the most illustrious musicians, from Charles Auguste de B\u00e9riot to Eug\u00e8ne Ysa\u00ffe, and including Jean-Delphin Alard. Vuillaume even married the daughter of the latter. Born in Mirecourt, Jean-Baptiste came from a family of luthiers that had been active since the 17th century. It is naturally in his birthplace that he started his training in 1810, at the tender age of 12. The identity of his master is uncertain, but it could have been Joseph Chanot, Nicolas Matthieu or Simoutre p\u00e8re. Despite training in Mirecourt, he did not pursue his career there and instead accepted, in 1818, a position in Paris working for Fran\u00e7ois Chanot \u2013 who had recently registered the patent for improvements to the violin-guitar (24 October 1817). He worked for him for a year, before being hired by Nicolas Antoine L\u00e9t\u00e9, an organ maker and entrepreneur, who won a medal at the Paris Exhibition of 1823 for an instrument made by Vuillaume. After this medal, Vuillaume was allowed to include his name inside the instruments he made and to number them, and he started to develop his own ideas. He set up on his own at 46 rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs in 1828.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>His rise to success was fast and his career crowned by several medals from the most prestigious competitions. In particular, he won a gold medal at the Universal Exhibitions of 1839 and 1844<a href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<strong> <\/strong>As early as the 1840s, his instruments were enjoying an excellent reputation throughout Europe and were prized for their sound and similarity to the instruments by the great Italian masters. The production period of the violin in the sale of 3 June 2021 is situated precisely around that time. The insatiable research by Vuillaume into improving musical practice led him to invent original models, <a href=\"https:\/\/collectionsdumusee.philharmoniedeparis.fr\/doc\/MUSEE\/0161700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">such as an enormous octobass with keyboard and pedals<\/a>. In addition to being an excellent violin maker, Vuillaume was also a bow maker of genius. As a great innovator, he was behind a number of patents in this field, including for a metal bow in 1834 and <a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2010\/09\/23\/archet-meche-interchangeable-jean-baptiste-vuillaume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a bow with interchangeable hair in 1835<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>. With the increase in his production, he decided to delegate the commercial side of the business from 1858 in order to concentrate solely on making, and as part of this reorganisation moved to 3 rue Demours \u00e0 Ternes, in the suburbs of Paris.<a href=\"#_ftn3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Informations biographiques extraites de Bernard Millant, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Raffin, <em>L\u2019Archet<\/em>, Paris, L\u2019Archet Editions, 2000, tome II, p.59.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> <em>Les archets de Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume<\/em>, catalogue d\u2019exposition Musicora, Paris, Grande Halle de la Villette, 3-7 avril 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a> Florian Leonhard, Stefan-Peter Greiner, <em>Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, Vie et \u0153uvre,<\/em> Greven, Cramer, 1998, p.11.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"11656\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Int\u00e9ressant violon de Jean Baptiste VUILLAUME\" class=\"wp-image-11656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-06-03-quatuor-0181-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>3 juin 2021<br>N\u00b0 275 &#8211;

Maucotel, T\u00e9lesphore Barb\u00e9 and Joseph Louis Germain. From the 1830s onwards, he found himself at the helm of several workshops employing violin and bow makers.

Whilst an innovator in his own right and a maker with a distinctive style, Vuillaume owes his savoir-faire to a fascination with the Italian school, and in particular its two icons, Stradivari (1644-1737) and Guarneri del Ges\u00f9 (1698-1744). He also took an interest in Amati and Maggini, but the former two violin makers remained the most influential for him &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/collectionsdumusee.philharmoniedeparis.fr\/doc\/MUSEE\/0162036#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> as evidenced by his commission from the artist Jean-Edouard Hamman of portraits of Stradivari and Guarneri<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As part of his research into the perfect sound, appearance and technical properties, Vuillaume studied these prestigious Italian instruments and they became for him the ne plus ultra. He first studied Stradivari, before moving on to Guarneri from 1835-1840. Certain models were a particular source of inspiration, as for instance Paganini\u2019s \u201cCannone\u201d by Guarneri. The instruments Vuillaume made after the Italian masters are of the highest order and found success with the greatest musicians \u2013 as illustrated by this superb violin after Guarneri that belonged to Eug\u00e8ne Ysa\u00ffe and was auctioned by Vichy Ench\u00e8res in 2017. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-5 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"12151\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Violon de Jean-Baptiste VUILLAUME\" class=\"wp-image-12151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2017-11-29-millant-47-1-violon-vuillaume-jean-baptiste-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>29 novembre 2017<br>Collection Bernard Millant<br>N\u00b0 47 &#8211;

In this, he is partly indebted to the dealer and great collector Luigi Tarisio (c.1790-1854), who brought back Cremonese instruments to France and contributed to spreading knowledge about them.

To this end, he studied the legendary instruments of Stradivari, and purchased the \u201cMessiah\u201d, on which a number of his copies are based. Through a lifetime of indefatigable research into the subject, which included contacting his descendants, Vuillaume accumulated a large amount of information on Stradivari. The sum of this research was entrusted to musical historian Fran\u00e7ois-Joseph F\u00e9tis, who published a volume on Stradivari in 1856<a href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Fran\u00e7ois-Joseph F\u00e9tis, <em>Antoine Stradivari, luthier c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, connu sous le nom de Stradivarius<\/em>, Paris, 1856<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The researcher<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>To reiterate, his exposure to the work of the great masters was far from sterile and instead informed the development of his own processes. In his quest for progress, he was not afraid to alter the models of the great masters and to modify their moulds, whilst developing new making devices such as the external mould<a href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201c<em><em>By allowing himself to modify the body of the instrument without constraints, he was able to develop his own ideas about sound, something he would not have been able to achieve by merely altering an old instrument. This is the reason why the arches and outlines of his instruments differ from the original models [&#8230;]. His copies based on the Stradivarius model have a lower arch and a larger and shallower fluted area around the edges than the originals.<\/em><\/em>\u201d<\/p><cite>Florian Leonhard, Stefan-Peter Greiner, op. cit., p.15-16.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Liang Xu, op. cit, p.135-177.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This applies to the violin for sale on 3 June 2021, as it reflects both aspects of the work of Vuillaume, combining his acquired knowledge of the savoir-faire of the great masters with his development of new techniques. Whilst on the Stradivarius pattern, this violin distinguishes itself by certain measures and proportions. Vuillaume often lengthened and elevated the fingerboard, whilst making the front thinner<a href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. These experimentations led to the advent of new models, such as the famous \u201cGolden Pheasant\u201d of 1862 \u2013 an example of which was sold by Vichy Ench\u00e8res on 5 December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> <em>Violons, Vuillaume,<\/em> op.cit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Moreover, Vuillaume always had a distinctive style, as shown by the violin in the sale of 3 June 2021, and his hand is perceptible in his purfling, his design of the arches or the work inside the instrument. He also had the habit of inserting his label and \u201cVuillaume\u201d brand on the inside back and front of his instruments, as is the case with our violin. In addition to modifying the original forms and creating new models, Vuillaume took an interest in acoustics and collaborated with physicist and inventor of the sonometer F\u00e9lix Savart (1791-1841), in order to analyse the sound and vibrations produced by the front of instruments<a href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Between 1836 and 1839, they studied together the structure of Italian violins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Liang Xu, op. cit, p.177.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Finally, he took great care in the wood he used and travelled all over Europe to select it. He understood very early on that artificially drying wood and subjecting it to heat and acidity had a negative effect on the sound of instruments; instead, he chose to dry his wood naturally and in ventilated stores. Away from exposure to direct sunlight, the wood gradually developed a light golden patina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining his study of the greatest masters with his research into the sound and appearance of the instrument, the output of Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume had a profound impact on the history of violin making. His instruments are amongst the most accomplished in terms of sound production. They very quickly seduced the musicians of his time, and continue to be considered, to this day, as being amongst the best. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
