Engraving of an Antique Rosette Plate 45 by Antonini, circa 1780
About the Item
This image is an original architectural print depicting a rosette, a decorative motif fashioned after a stylized rose, commonly found in classical and neoclassical architecture. The print is labeled "Rosone preso da Frammenti Antichi," which translates to "Rosette taken from Ancient Fragments," suggesting that the design is inspired by classical antiquities.
Given its style and the period during which Carlo Antonini was active, this print would likely have been included in a collection intended for use by craftsmen and designers as a pattern book for architectural ornamentation. These collections were essential for spreading the neoclassical style throughout Europe, providing a reference for incorporating elements of classical architecture into contemporary designs.
The title of the series and the plate number ("T.2. plate 45") is provided, which helps to locate this print within the larger work. The condition of the print, judging from the image, seems to be good, with minimal staining and no significant damage to the artwork itself. These prints are valuable for their historical significance and their representation of the artistic and architectural trends of their time.
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.
