About the Item

16th–17th Century Renaissance Grotesques – Lavish Ornament Panel from L'Ornement Polychrome, Plate LXXII This striking chromolithograph is Plate LXXII from the monumental decorative arts series L'Ornement Polychrome, published in Paris by Firmin-Didot in the 1860s–70s. Lithographed by Kraut Sannier, the plate exemplifies polychromatic ornament from the late Renaissance period, bridging the 16th and 17th centuries, as seen in the scrollwork, grotesques, and complex architectural framing. At the center is a grand, illusionistic panel with elaborate gold scrolls, masks, cartouches, and mythical ornamentation surrounding a heraldic emblem-like design on a rich violet ground. Flanking and surrounding it are dozens of fantastical grotesque motifs on a pale green background—heads with wings, floral festoons, hybrid creatures, and jewel-like medallions—all meticulously rendered in saturated reds, blues, greens, and golds. This style draws inspiration from ancient Roman wall paintings rediscovered in Nero’s Domus Aurea, revived during the Renaissance and popularized through Italian decorative frescoes. These motifs were later reinterpreted across Europe for architectural interiors, book illumination, and furniture decoration. The combination of symmetry, inventiveness, and ornamental exuberance makes this plate a masterwork of decorative historicism, ideal for designers and collectors interested in Renaissance revival styles and the evolution of grotesque ornament. Condition: Excellent. Vibrant color, minimal age-toning at the margins, clean plate area. Framing tips: Display in a dark wood or gold frame with a light ivory mat to highlight the rich tones. A wonderful conversation piece in design studios, libraries, or period interiors. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Kraut Sannier (lith.), Firmin-Didot Frères, Paris, c.1869
