Byzantine Ornamental Art from Ornamentenschatz, 1887

About the Item

"Byzantine Ornamental Art from Ornamentenschatz, 1887" Description: These prints by H. Dolmetsch are featured in "Ornamentenschatz," a compilation published by Verlag J. Hoffmann, Stuttgart, in 1887. The collection portrays Byzantine artistic elements, noted for their intricate mosaics, vibrant colors, and detailed iconography. Each print displays traditional Byzantine motifs, including elaborate cross designs, detailed geometric patterns, and vivid portrayals of flora and fauna, all common in Byzantine art. Attractiveness and Decorative Appeal: The prints are visually appealing due to their rich color combinations and the complexity of the patterns, which are emblematic of Byzantine craftsmanship. The precision in the geometric and floral designs, paired with the symmetry and harmony in the layout, contributes to their aesthetic value. The inclusion of animal and botanical elements brings life and dynamism to the traditionally rigid and symbolic Byzantine style. Gold-Plated Appearance Technique: The gold-plated look in these prints is likely achieved through chromolithography, which allows for the precise application of multiple colors and shades, including gold-toned inks. This technique replicates the effect of gold leaf commonly used in Byzantine manuscripts and mosaics, enhancing the luxurious and regal feel typical of Byzantine art. The strategic placement of these gold-like hues helps to highlight certain features and gives the artwork a rich, opulent appearance.
