About the Item

The image is an original antique architectural print, specifically a rosette, which is a round, stylized flower design, commonly used in architectural decoration. The print is titled "Rosone preso da Frammenti Antichi T.2. plate 41", indicating that it is the 41st plate from volume 2 of a work that deals with designs taken from ancient fragments. This particular print was created by Carlo Antonini between 1777 and 1790, as part of an art print set from a vintage manual of architectural ornaments. Given the design and the details, it is an engraving, which would have been used by architects and craftsmen as a reference for creating decorative elements in buildings. The plate shows the intricate pattern of the rosette, highlighting the neoclassical style that was prevalent at the time, with a focus on classical forms and motifs. The condition of the print, based on the image, appears to be quite good, with minimal discoloration and no visible tears or significant damage. The preservation of the fine lines and details in the engraving suggests that it has been well cared for. This piece would likely be of interest to those studying architectural history, design, or engraving techniques of the period. More about the artist: The maker of the print is Carlo Antonini. He was active in the late 18th century, a period known for its interest in classical antiquity and the neoclassical style in art and architecture. Antonini produced works that were reflective of this interest, creating prints that could serve as references for artisans, architects, and designers who sought to incorporate classical motifs into their work. His book of architectural ornaments, as suggested by the title of the print, would have been a collection of designs that were intended to be used as guides for creating decorative elements in the neoclassical style, often inspired by ancient Roman and Greek art and architecture. These resources were invaluable for the dissemination of the neoclassical aesthetic across Europe, influencing the decorative arts, architecture, and even furniture design.
