About the Item
Renaissance Scrollwork with Cherubs & Grotesques – Classical Ornament, Pl. LV
This richly colored chromolithograph, Plate LV from *L'Ornement Polychrome* (Paris, ca. 1869), showcases five exquisite Renaissance decorative panels in the grotesque style, drawn from classical motifs. The vertical compositions are ideal examples of the “candelieri” form—ornate upright designs used in architectural decoration, manuscripts, and furniture ornamentation during the Italian Renaissance.
Each panel is filled with fantastical scrolling foliage, symmetrical floral arrangements, vases, and mythological details. Cherubs and putti feature prominently, especially in the central compositions, where they are shown holding garlands or flanking stylized urns. The largest design at left integrates shields, satyr masks, urns, and cherubic figures amidst an interwoven web of acanthus and arabesque patterns on a stippled red background.
The color palette is opulent yet harmonious, dominated by ochre, gold, deep red, peacock blue, rose pink, and sage green. Highlights of white and light blue provide depth and lightness. These colors reflect the revivalist aesthetic of 19th-century France and Germany, who looked to the High Renaissance for inspiration in applied and decorative arts.
The small bottom panel and rightmost border design both show scrolling foliate bands suitable for horizontal friezes or textile repeats, each demonstrating the balance and clarity of classical ornament.
Lithographed by Pralon and printed by Firmin-Didot in Paris, this plate is a fine example of 19th-century design publishing aimed at artisans, architects, and interior decorators. Today, it serves as both a collectible art print and a historical document of Renaissance revivalism.
Condition: Excellent condition. Clean margins, rich and saturated color, light age-toning to outer edge.
Framing tips: This vertical composition pairs beautifully with a dark wood or gold-leaf frame. Use a warm ivory mat to complement the ochre and enhance the antiquarian feel.
