EDITORS COMMENTS
from Simon Gribelin's "Book of Ornament," published in 1704, is a stunning example of the intricate and ornate decorative arts that flourished in France during the eighteenth century. This engraving on paper, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a close-up view of an oval-shaped design, filled with an intricate pattern of interlocking shapes and geometric forms. The complexity of the pattern is a testament to the skill and creativity of Gribelin, a master engraver of the time. The design, which resembles an ornate shield or a knight's crest, is reminiscent of the rich heritage of decorative arts in France. The image is a reminder of the importance of ornamentation in art and literature during this period, when the intricacies of design were highly valued and sought after. Gribelin, who was active in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, was known for his intricate engravings, which were widely used as models for architects, designers, and craftsmen. This particular plate, with its variety of shapes and patterns, would have provided endless inspiration for those seeking to create complex and ornate works of art. The image, with its high contrast and intricate details, invites close examination, revealing new patterns and shapes with each viewing. The oval shape, which is a common motif in the decorative arts of the time, adds to the sense of elegance and refinement. Overall, Plate Seven from Simon Gribelin's "Book of Ornament" is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
