EDITORS COMMENTS
from Simon Gribelin's "Book of Ornament," published in 1704, showcases an intricately designed and engraved coat of arms. The image, a testament to the artistic prowess of the 18th century, is a captivating blend of complex shapes and patterns. The circular design, framed by an ornate border, is a visual feast for the eyes, with its blazon displaying a group of heraldic elements. The engraving on paper, created by Simon Gribelin II, is a stunning example of the decorative arts during the eighteenth century in France. The close-up view reveals the intricate details of the design, which is rich in historical significance. The circular shape of the coat of arms is a common feature in heraldry, reflecting the concept of unity and completeness. The variety of shapes and patterns within the design is a testament to the complexity of the ornamental arts during this period. The intricate circular design is a masterclass in the art of ornate decoration, with each element contributing to the overall aesthetic. The image, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a valuable addition to the institution's collection of historic prints and drawings. The image, while simple in color, is anything but simple in design, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of European art and design history.
