EDITORS COMMENTS
from A New Book of Ornaments, created by Simon Gribelin in 1704, presents a captivating and intricate composition of four cherubs or amorini, figures from ancient Roman mythology often depicted as winged infants, engaged in a lively and harmonious group interaction. The cherubs are shown holding various objects, including an urn and a putto, or a small representation of a baby, while playfully interacting with each other. The ornate and complex design is further enhanced by the use of drapery, which adds a sense of movement and texture to the image. This engraving, executed on ivory laid paper, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Simon Gribelin II, a renowned French engraver of the eighteenth century. The black and white, or bw, image, with its intricate patterns and ornate details, showcases the artist's mastery of the engraving technique. The cherubs, with their angelic faces and delicate wings, exude a sense of grace and beauty, making this print a beloved masterpiece of the decorative arts. This historic work of art, with its timeless appeal and intricate design, is a cherished addition to any art collection or gallery. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past and the enduring beauty of ornamental art. Whether displayed in an art centre, art institute, or private art gallery, this print is sure to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details and complex concept. The simplicity of the image belies the complexity of the design, making it a fascinating object of study for art enthusiasts, historians, and collectors alike.
