About the Item
German Renaissance Painted Sculpture Print by H. Dolmetsch, Ornamentenschatz c.1880
This captivating print by H. Dolmetsch showcases the intricate and vibrant art of 'bemalte Plastik' or painted sculpture from the German Renaissance. Published in Stuttgart by Jul. Hoffmann as part of the monumental *Ornamentenschatz* series, this plate represents a richly decorative tradition where sculpture, painting, and heraldry converge in a theatrical, symbolic style that defined late 16th-century German artistic culture.
The central figure, a noblewoman clad in opulent Renaissance costume and holding a small dog, stands with regal poise above a sculpted pedestal adorned with a Bavarian coat of arms. Her detailed ruff collar, embroidered sleeves, and complex fabric patterns are rendered with the delicate care that characterizes chromolithographic excellence. Her presence is not merely portraiture but emblematic of aristocratic identity and lineage, reinforced by the heraldic shield beneath her and the lion and blue-checkered pattern symbolizing Bavarian heritage.
Surrounding the central figure is a theatrical arch filled with rich ornamentation. Cherubs, mythical beasts, gryphons, deer, and heraldic birds perch on intricate architectural frames and cartouches. These elements were commonly used in churches, town halls, and noble homes during the German Renaissance, particularly in regions like Bavaria and Franconia where painted and polychromed wooden sculpture was highly developed. The detailed corners and framing elements show a deep influence of both Gothic revival and Italian Mannerism, rendered in vivid reds, blues, and golds.
This print is not only an aesthetically compelling image but a historical document that captures the Gesamtkunstwerk nature of Renaissance decorative arts—where sculpture, painting, carving, and symbolism were interwoven. Dolmetsch's work serves as both a record and a revival, aimed at architects, craftsmen, and designers who looked to the past for inspiration in the 19th-century historicist movements.
Heinrich Dolmetsch was a central figure in documenting European decorative traditions, and the *Ornamentenschatz* remains one of the finest printed sources for historic ornament. Each plate was produced using fine chromolithographic techniques, making them not only educational references but also collectible artworks in their own right.
Condition:
The print is in very good condition with bright colors and a strong impression. Some minor age-related wear may be present, such as light edge toning or small marks, but overall it remains clean and well-preserved.
Framing Tips:
To present this print elegantly, a museum-grade mount with an off-white or pale ivory mat will enhance its color without competing visually. A classic frame in dark walnut or gold will harmonize with the rich Renaissance palette, and UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the vibrant chromolithography for decades to come. This piece can stand alone as a striking conversation piece or complement a themed wall of historical prints.
