About the Item
Set of 4 French Renaissance Prints by H. Dolmetsch from Ornamentenschatz, 19th C.
This exquisite set of four 19th-century prints showcases the opulent and varied design traditions of the French Renaissance, rendered by the talented artist and designer H. Dolmetsch. Originally published in Stuttgart by Verlag von Jul. Hoffmann as part of the renowned Ornamentenschatz series, these prints are exemplary of the academic and decorative fascination with historical styles that flourished during the second half of the 19th century.
Each plate explores a different facet of Renaissance ornamentation in great detail:
Plate 62, titled Plastische Verzierungen in Stein und Holz, presents sculptural and architectural decorations in stone and wood. Figures, masks, floral scrollwork, and heraldic motifs highlight the richness of Renaissance craftsmanship.
Plate 63, titled Deckenmalerei, is a vibrant display of ceiling painting designs rendered in vivid polychromy. The array of panels, borders, and motifs demonstrates the sophistication of French ornamental ceiling decoration and color theory.
Plate 64, Weberai, Stickerei und Bucheinbände, focuses on textiles, embroidery, and bookbinding patterns. Printed in gold and red tones, it showcases intricate, repeating geometric and floral designs suitable for luxurious fabrics or leatherwork, underscoring the applied arts’ role in Renaissance aesthetics.
Plate 65, Wandmalerei, Bemalte Skulptur, Bucheinbände und Weberei, is a captivating synthesis of various decorative applications. It features wall painting, polychrome sculpture, and heraldic scenes alongside fabric and binding motifs. Mythological figures, garlands, and architectural elements combine to create a dynamic tableau.
H. Dolmetsch, active in the late 19th century, was a key contributor to the documentation and dissemination of historic ornamental styles. His work in Ornamentenschatz continues to serve as a valuable resource for designers, historians, and collectors. The plates were printed using high-quality chromolithographic techniques that allow for exceptional color fidelity and fine detailing.
These prints not only offer historical insight into Renaissance design but are also decorative objects in their own right, ideal for framing and display in interior spaces that value history, art, and craftsmanship.
Condition:
These original prints are in very good condition for their age. There is light toning consistent with 19th-century paper, with minor edge wear or handling marks. The colors remain vibrant, and the impressions are crisp.
Framing Tips:
For optimal preservation and visual impact, it is recommended to frame these prints using acid-free matting and UV-protective glass. A neutral-toned mat will highlight the ornate detail, while a classic wood or gilt frame can enhance the historical elegance of the subject matter. These prints work beautifully in a grouped wall arrangement or individually as focal pieces.
