Biography

Goat, Meissen porcelain by Johann Joachim Kaendler, 1732. Augustus the Strong of Saxony (1670-1733) was a passionate collector of porcelain. He built his ‘Japanese Palace’ in the 1720s to house his vast collection of Far Eastern and Meissen porcelain. This goat is one of nearly 600 life-size animals and birds that he ordered from the Meissen factory for his porcelain menagerie, planned from 1730 onwards. In the event, technical problems and his death in 1733 led to the abandonment of the project before this number had been achieved.Johann Joachim K?ndler/Kaendler/Kandler was the most important modelleur of the Meissen Porcelain Manufacture (Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH).

K?ndler came on 15 June 1706 to the son of a pastor in Saxony Fischbach.

He grew up in a classically educated environment and therefore has an excellent knowledge of Greek mythology. This knowledge of craftsmanship and an excellent observation laid the foundation for K?ndler later career, which was to carry them up to the court of Frederick II of Prussia.

The financial success of the porcelain artist it was quite parallel to the social advancement. But although he held on the end of his life on several properties and its own vineyard, he left behind at his death in 1775 much debt.

K?ndler professional career began with the famous Dresden court sculptor and altar carver John Benjamin Thomae (1682-1751), where the pastor's son from Fischbach went into teaching. Even then he put a lot of skill and an exceptional grasp of the day, earning him at a young age responsible tasks. His talent did not go unnoticed.

On 22 June 1731 at the age of 25, he was recruited by the Meissen porcelain factory as a Modeler and he was appointed court sculptor by Augustus II the Strong.

There he worked first as a model champion, assistant of Johann Jakob Kirchner and succeeded him as "modelmaster" (head of the plastic mold design) in 1733 when Kirchner resigned. He became the Arcanist (from Latin arcanum, “secret”) who knew the secret of making porcelain which until 1707 was known only by the Chinese and Japanese. The highlight of his career was undoubtedly the appointment Hofkommissar (Court Commissioner) in 1749.

Later as a security clearance, he led the State Porcelain Manufactory by the turbulent period of Austria-Prussian wars and kept the production going against all odds.

In 1775 he died at Meissen after 45 years working there. He was succeeded by his assistants Johann Friedrich Eberlein and Peter Reinecke.
