Villa d'Este Tivoli Rosette, Plate 21 Engraved in 1780
About the Item
Title: "Villa d'Este Tivoli Rosette, Plate 21"
Description: This 18th-century engraving, titled "Da frammenti Antichi nella Villa d'Este in Tivoli," portrays a lavishly detailed rosette with baroque flair, inspired by the architectural fragments found at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli. The central motif features a layered array of flowers and leaves, meticulously carved to create a sense of depth and volume. Each petal and leaf is shaded to enhance the lifelike appearance, and the composition is balanced by the ornamental scrollwork below. This work exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of historical architectural engravings and the neoclassical appreciation for the ornate beauty of Italy's rich architectural past.
The engraving is part of a series produced by an 18th-century artist or engraver whose specific name isn't provided on the print itself. However, it follows the style of Carlo Antonini, who is known for such works, though without direct attribution, it's speculative to definitively assign the piece to him.
The title "Da frammenti Antichi nella Villa d'Este in Tivoli" suggests that the engraving is taken from a collection that includes designs and motifs sourced from the Villa d'Este, a Renaissance villa in Tivoli, Italy. The villa is famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and a masterpiece of Italian garden design.
This particular print could be from a work documenting architectural and decorative designs of the period, possibly a pattern book used by architects and artisans of the time. Such books were common in the neoclassical era, serving as catalogs for design elements drawn from historical and classical sources. They were often part of larger sets that included various illustrations of ornaments, sculptures, and architectural details found in famous villas and ruins, serving as inspiration for contemporary designs.
