EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of exquisite French Renaissance ornaments in stone and wood, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The creator of these remarkable pieces remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to their beauty. Figures 1 through 11 offer a glimpse into the opulence and craftsmanship of this era. From pilaster-capitals adorned with intricate details from the Hotel Lasbordes at Toulouse, to carved panels on wainscots and doors in castles such as Fontainebleau and Anet, each piece tells its own story. The Torus-decoration found in the chapel of the Castle at Anet is particularly striking, showcasing the grandeur associated with Henri II's reign. Equally impressive is the window-frame decoration on display at Paris' Louvre Palace during that same period. Wood-rosettes from galleries and chimneys evoke a sense of delicate elegance, while hermas exude strength and power from their origins in places like Toulouse's Hotel d Assezat. Panel ornaments found within museums like Paris' Hotel de Cluny provide a glimpse into historical narratives preserved through artistry. Lastly, a capital from Louis XIII's baptistery adds another layer to this diverse collection. Plate 62 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" allows us to appreciate these masterpieces even today. This print serves as a testament to France's rich artistic heritage during the Renaissance period - an enduring legacy for generations to come.
