About the Item

Renaissance Ceiling Ornament – Mythological Fresco Medallions and Grotesques, Plate LXVII This stunning chromolithograph from *L'Ornement Polychrome*, Plate LXVII, features an array of intricate Renaissance ceiling decorations inspired by fresco and stucco work, rendered with vibrant color and precision. Lithographed by Duran and printed by Firmin-Didot Frères in Paris, the design is a celebration of 16th-century ceiling art drawn from Roman palaces and villas. The composition is built around overlapping concentric medallions, framed with rich ornamentation and grotesques, creating the illusion of a vaulted or domed ceiling. At the center sits a female figure in classical drapery, holding a goblet, surrounded by scenes of mythological revelry, dancing nudes, satyrs, and pastoral vignettes. These are set against a backdrop of stylized foliage, putti, masks, floral scrolls, and fantastical beasts—all hallmarks of Renaissance grotesque decoration. The vivid palette of blues, reds, greens, and golds is enhanced by meticulous shading and detailing, evoking the grandeur of Renaissance interiors such as the Vatican loggias or the Villa Farnesina. Each circular and oval frame is bordered with architectural and vegetal motifs, making this plate both ornamental and structurally informative. This plate is an exceptional resource for interior decorators, historians of Renaissance art, and collectors of decorative arts. It reflects the Renaissance fascination with antiquity, symmetry, and visual storytelling through complex decorative programs. Condition: Excellent condition with fresh colors. Light toning in the margins only; no visible blemishes in the image area. Framing tips: A classical gold frame with a wide ivory mat will emphasize the lavish detail. Consider a circular mat opening to mimic the vault-like structure and highlight the central medallion. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Duran (lith.), Firmin-Didot Frères, Paris, c.1869
