About the Item

17th Century Ceiling Ornament – Baroque Interior Panel with Grotesques, Plate LXXX This elegant chromolithograph, Plate LXXX from the acclaimed L'Ornement Polychrome series, depicts a richly ornamented Baroque ceiling corner from 17th-century France. Rendered in a palette of warm gold, bronze, and muted blue-green, this detailed architectural design captures the opulence and classical symmetry characteristic of the Louis XIV period. The image presents a partial view of a grand ceiling dome and its ornate corner framing, filled with intricate scrollwork, acanthus leaves, masks, mythological medallions, grotesques, and allegorical figures. The decoration radiates from the circular central medallion and extends into the geometric corner cornice, likely inspired by palace interiors such as those at Versailles. The central motifs include putti, satyr masks, and panels featuring mythological scenes framed by garlands and shells. The scrolls and architectural flourishes are carefully organized to create a dynamic yet symmetrical visual rhythm, demonstrating the Baroque taste for dramatic yet ordered complexity. Lithographed by Pralon and published by Firmin-Didot around 1869, this plate was part of Auguste Racinet’s monumental documentation of global ornamental styles. Racinet’s work aimed to inspire architects, designers, and artisans by providing high-quality reproductions of historic decorative art from different centuries and cultures. The importance of this piece lies in its architectural authenticity and aesthetic harmony, providing a historical reference for anyone working with classical or neoclassical interiors. It also reflects the 19th-century passion for historical revival styles, which influenced interior decoration and academic architecture throughout Europe. Condition: Excellent condition. Image clean with vibrant gold-toned detailing. Minor age-toning to outer margins only. No tears, repairs, or foxing. Paper is thick, stable, and richly printed with chromolithographic precision. Framing tips: This print suits a classical frame in antique gold or walnut. A wide mount in ivory, pale stone, or muted blue will complement the background tones and bring out the detailing. Ideal for display in elegant or historically themed spaces. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Pralon after Racinet, Paris, c.1869
