About the Item
Italian Renaissance Stained Glass Design Print from Ornamentenschatz, 19th Century
This vibrant 19th-century chromolithograph captures the essence of Italian Renaissance glass painting, drawn from historical originals and reimagined for the celebrated German design compendium *Ornamentenschatz* (The Treasury of Ornament). This particular plate (numbered 45) was printed in Stuttgart by the publisher Jul. Hoffmann and designed by H. Dolmetsch, a leading figure in the German revivalist movement of historic decorative arts.
The composition is an elaborate Renaissance window scheme brimming with mythological and allegorical imagery. Central to the print is an oval panel depicting a classical mythological scene with three graces and attendants in a lush landscape, flanked by cherubs holding garlands, grotesques, caryatids, and medallions. The panels are interwoven with floral scrolls, arabesques, shell forms, and masks typical of Italian Renaissance ornament. Many of the motifs recall the work of Raphael and other High Renaissance masters whose decorative vocabulary inspired architecture, furniture, and the applied arts across Europe.
The stained-glass effect is faithfully recreated through detailed color blocking and an illusion of transparency achieved through intricate line work and careful shading. It is a remarkable example of the precision and richness achievable through chromolithography, a process that brought color to printmaking with unprecedented fidelity in the 19th century.
Condition:
This print is in good condition with bright, unfaded colors and clean margins. Minor age toning and a few faint foxing spots may be present at the outer edge, but do not detract from the vivid impact of the artwork. The paper is stable and crisp, with no tears or restoration.
Framing Advice:
This plate would be especially impactful in a gold leaf or walnut frame to echo the period style. A double mat in ivory and deep red or green would further enhance the rich Renaissance palette. For maximum preservation and display quality, consider museum-grade UV-protective glazing.
This original plate is a compelling choice for collectors of antique design, lovers of Renaissance aesthetics, and decorators seeking a timeless piece with historical and artistic value. A decorative gem from one of the 19th century’s most influential design portfolios.
