EDITORS COMMENTS
from A New Book of Ornaments, created by Simon Gribelin in 1704, is a captivating engraving that showcases the intricate and ornate decorative arts of the eighteenth century. The image, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back in time to a quintessential French country setting. The centerpiece of the composition is an oval-shaped ornament, adorned with lush foliate patterns and intricate scrollwork. Four figures, two men and two women, are depicted in close proximity to the ornament, admiring its beauty and elegance. The woman on the left wears a crown, signifying her noble status, while the man on the right holds a quill pen and paper, suggesting the importance of literature and illustration in the creation and appreciation of such ornaments. The overall design is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Simon Gribelin II, who expertly engraved the patterns onto the paper. The intricate details and delicate lines are particularly evident in the close-up view of the ornament, which reveals a complex interplay of geometric and organic shapes. This historic artwork, with its rich heritage and artistic significance, continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. A must-see for anyone interested in the history of decorative arts, Plate Ten from A New Book of Ornaments by Simon Gribelin is a true masterpiece that transcends time and continues to delight and intrigue.
