About the Item
Byzantine and Romanesque Architectural Ornament Print by H. Dolmetsch, 1880s
This richly detailed antique lithograph is a superb example from the renowned 'Ornamentenschatz' (Treasure of Ornament), a monumental 19th-century compendium of decorative arts compiled by the German artist and designer Heinrich Dolmetsch (1846–1908). Issued in Stuttgart by the publisher Julius Hoffmann, this plate (number 34) is titled Byzantinisch und Romanisch. Architektur und Skulptur, focusing on the intricate sculptural and architectural details found in Byzantine and Romanesque design.
The print displays a masterful array of capitals, friezes, cornices, archivolts, and foliate patterns, many derived from ecclesiastical architecture and stone carving. The central motifs highlight the sculptural ornamentation of capitals, showcasing acanthus leaves, human figures, and symbolic forms rooted in early Christian and Byzantine tradition. The stylized patterns and intricate relief work are rendered with exceptional precision, exemplifying the late 19th-century fascination with historical styles and archaeological revival.
Dolmetsch’s Ornamentenschatz was among the most comprehensive 19th-century references for historic ornamental styles and served as an inspiration for architects, designers, and artists across Europe during the decorative arts revival movements. His detailed and scholarly approach helped preserve and popularize a broad spectrum of global ornamentation, ranging from Roman and Gothic to Persian, Indian, Japanese, and Islamic motifs.
The quality of the chromolithography and engraving in this series is particularly notable. Though this specific plate is in monochrome, it exhibits finely nuanced shading and line work, suggesting volume and texture as found in actual stone carvings. Every detail is crisp, making this an exceptional study piece or decorative object for anyone interested in architectural history, ornamentation, or sacred art.
Condition Summary:
This original lithograph is in good condition considering its age, with only minor age-related toning and slight edge wear. No major staining, tears, or repairs are present. The paper remains stable, with all imagery sharp and unaltered.
Framing Tips:
For optimal display and preservation, it is recommended to mount this print using acid-free materials and a white or ivory mat to enhance the visual depth. A simple wooden or gold-toned frame will complement the historic aesthetic without detracting from the intricate architectural details. UV-protective glass or acrylic is advised to safeguard against fading over time.
