Spandrels are architectural elements that have been used throughout history to enhance the beauty and storytelling of various structures. From ancient civilizations to more modern times, spandrels have played a significant role in art and design. One example of they can be seen in a pair of hunt scene panels from the Safavid dynasty during the mid-17th century. These intricately crafted spandrels depict scenes of hunters on horseback, showcasing both skill and bravery. In Chicago, Illinois, the Gage Building features a stunning spandrel panel dating back to 1898-1899. This piece showcases intricate architectural details that add elegance and charm to the building's facade. Even choir stalls were not exempt from incorporating spandrels into their designs. An alchemist depicted on a wooden choir stall demonstrates how these elements were used not only for decoration but also as a means of storytelling within religious spaces. The Mesdjid-i-Shah in Isfahan is another example where spandrels take center stage. Architectural details found here showcase the rich cultural heritage of Iran, with plate 12-13 capturing its grandeur and beauty. Moving away from architecture, we find examples such as pencil & watercolor drawings depicting friezes and spandrels in courtyards at Temple Street. These delicate artworks capture the essence of these decorative elements with precision and detail. Ms 1014 offers us an elevation drawing showcasing ballroom designs at Fontainebleau. Spandrels play an essential role here by adding depth and character to this opulent space fit for royalty. Religious artwork also incorporates spandrels into its compositions. In Strozzi Chapel, two angels grace the east wall with their presence, demonstrating how even divine figures are enhanced by these architectural features. A roundel made from glazed terracotta adorns a facade beautifully while adding texture and visual interest to any structure lucky enough to feature it, and are not limited to architecture alone.
