EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate Eleven" from A New Book of Ornaments, created by Simon Gribelin in 1704, is a captivating and intricate work of art that showcases the beauty and complexity of the Baroque period. This engraving on paper is a close-up depiction of three amorini, or cherubs, engaged in a lively dance. The scene is set against a backdrop of ornate foliate scrolls, with the cherubs gracefully leaping and twirling in mid-air. The cherubs, two males and one female, are depicted in a playful and innocent manner, their chubby bodies adorned with wings and flowing locks. Their faces are expressive and full of joy, adding to the whimsical nature of the scene. The intricate patterns and designs that adorn their bodies and the scrolls around them add to the overall complexity of the composition. This print, which is part of the rich artistic heritage of France in the eighteenth century, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Simon Gribelin II. The image, with its high contrast and intricate details, invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of the design and appreciate the beauty of the ornamental art form. The cherubs in Plate Eleven are not just decorative elements, but rather living beings that bring the ornament to life. Their lively dance and the scrolls that surround them add a sense of movement and energy to the image, making it a dynamic and engaging work of art. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly those with a focus on the Baroque period and the decorative arts. This beautiful and historic print is now part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
