EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate Six" from Simon Gribelin's "Book of Ornament," created in 1704, is an exquisite example of eighteenth-century French heraldic design. The intricately engraved print, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a complex circular composition filled with an array of ornate and patterned shapes. The image, a testament to the beauty of monochromatic art, is a close-up view of the design, revealing the intricacies of the circular arrangement. The plate is a masterclass in heraldic design, featuring a blazon, or a description of a coat of arms, in the center. The circular design is divided into quadrants, each filled with an intricate pattern. The top left quadrant displays a series of circular shapes, the top right features a winding staircase motif, the bottom left showcases a series of interconnected diamonds, and the bottom right quadrant is filled with a complex geometric pattern. The variety and complexity of the shapes and patterns in Plate Six demonstrate the artistic skill and creativity of Simon Gribelin II, the engraver of the print. The image, a product of the 18th century, is a reminder of the rich heritage of decorative arts and the importance of preserving historical works for future generations. The print, with its intricate design and ornate details, continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and timeless appeal. The Art Institute of Chicago's acquisition of Plate Six is a significant addition to its extensive collection of prints and drawings, showcasing the institution's commitment to preserving and promoting the arts and their historical significance. The image, a true work of art in its own right, continues to inspire and intrigue viewers with its intricate design and historical significance.
