19th Century Screen with Grotesques Painting Oil on Canvas
Located in Milan, IT
Nineteenth century
Screen with grotesques
Measures: (5) Oil on canvas, 158 x 185 cm
The screen analyzed is made up of five panels, each divided into two panels decorated with elements of the natural world on the upper level and grotesque decorations on the lower level. The grotesque is a type of ornamentation often used in painting, sculpture and minor arts, for example in ceramics and tapestries, developed at the end of the 15th century.
The five upper panels refer to as many famous Aesop's fables, i.e. the first panel depicts the fable of The frogs ask for a king, the second panel instead represents the roosters and the partridge, the third panel has as its protagonist the famous fable of the Hare and the tortoise, while the fourth The crow and the fox, while the last panel probably represents the episode of the Fox and the stork.
The screen owes its name to its singular and ancient origin; after the discovery of these decorations in 1480 in Nero's Domus Aurea, a palace that had been buried for centuries, under the pretext of imitatio antiquitatis, they were re-proposed in contemporary palaces. The palace of Nero was visited by many explorers, who descended into it and had the impression of being inside a cave, which is why, as Benvenuto Cellini tells us, these particular decorations rediscovered there were called grotesque. The great success that the grotesques had is testified by Raphael's decorations in the Vatican...

Antique and Vintage Screens and Room Dividers
Whether they are implemented as decorative accents or makeshift partitions to ensure privacy, antique and vintage folding screens and room dividers easily introduce sophistication and depth to any space in your home.
The earliest examples of folding screens are said to have originated in China and go back at least as far as the Han dynasty. Screens of the era were heavy structures made of wood and had hinges of cloth or leather. They were adorned with elaborate landscape paintings that were typically created on silk or paper canvases and applied directly to the screen’s panels afterward. Just as they had been in the 20th century and today, the folding screens then were recognized for both their practical and purely decorative properties.
Japanese room-divider screens were also decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile. They took on considerable event-based importance when the structures gained popularity in the East Asian country, as the folding screens were used in performing arts such as concerts, tea ceremonies and more. Later, artists elsewhere warmed to folding screens and sought to create their own.
In European countries such as France, where they were known as paravent, folding screens began to materialize in apartments in Paris, gaining favor with the likes of pioneering couturier Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, who is said to have accrued more than 30 and used them as a precursor to what we now know as wallpaper.
On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique and vintage folding screens and room dividers, which, given their history, may do a better job of bringing people and cultures together in your home than sectioning off a space. Search by material to find options in metal, fabric or wood, or browse by style for mid-century modern designs and examples from the Art Deco era.
