Floral Majesty: Rosette Plate 47 Engraved from Antiquity, circa 1780
About the Item
This engraving, titled "Rosone preso da Frammenti Antichi," presents a detailed rosette that draws inspiration from classical motifs found in ancient fragments. The intricate design features a symmetrical arrangement of floral elements, each petal and bloom rendered with delicate lines that showcase the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the natural form.
The creator of this piece is not explicitly mentioned on the print, but it follows the style and period of works created by artists such as Carlo Antonini, who were known for their detailed architectural engravings in the late 18th century. This particular piece, with its careful attention to shading and depth, is reflective of the neoclassical fascination with the art and architecture of antiquity.
The reference to "Frammenti Antichi" suggests that the design is based on ancient artifacts, and while the specific villa is not named in this image, similar works often refer to renowned locations such as Villa Adriana in Tivoli, which was famous for its rich collection of art and architectural elements from the Roman Empire. This print, with its classical beauty and craftsmanship, would have served as a source of inspiration for architects and designers of the time, embodying the neoclassical spirit that sought to revive and celebrate the grandeur of the past.

- 1780 Floral Spring Bouquet, Louis Tessier, Folio, Tulip, Poeny, Hand ColouredLocated in Norwich, GBFloral Bouquet engraved after Louis Tessier for "Livre de Corbeilles et Vases de Fleurs" Engraved by Jean-Jacques Avril Spring Bouquet with Ranunculus and Tulip. Measures: 36.4 x 27.7 cm "Avril l'aine, Sculp", in text, lower right; "L. Tessier, del" lower right. The six plates for "Livre de Corbeilles et Vases de Fleurs" (A Book of Baskets and Vases of Flowers) were engraved by J.J. Avril after paintings by Louis Tessier. The plates were hand colored and the coloring varies from impression to impression. This impression is a beautiful example of Tessier's eye for design, with his elegant use of space and the vivid color combinations by Avril. Despite the formality of the still life, the fun, haphazard arrangement of these fantastic flowers makes for a charming yet highly stylized image. Jean Jaacques Avril (the elder) was born in Paris in 1744 and studied architecture but became a student of engraver Jan Georges...Category
