EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate Two" from A New Book of Ornaments, created by Simon Gribelin in 1704, is a captivating and intricately designed engraving on paper that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Baroque period. The image features a circular design filled with an array of cherubs and amorini, or putti, each with unique expressions and poses. The cherubs are arranged symmetrically, with some depicted as male figures holding flowers or instruments, while others are winged infants playing with one another. The cherubs are surrounded by an intricate foliate pattern, adding to the overall ornate and decorative nature of the design. This engraving, which is part of a larger collection of ornaments, was originally published in France during the eighteenth century and has since become a cherished piece of artistic heritage. The image, with its high contrast and intricate details, invites close examination and appreciation for the concept and execution of the design. The cherubs' heads are delicately rendered, with their curly locks and rosy cheeks adding to their youthful charm. Their wings, spread out in various poses, add to the overall sense of movement and energy within the composition. This historic work of art, with its complex and symmetrical design, continues to inspire artists and designers today. It can be found in the collections of many prestigious art institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a beloved addition to their prints and drawings collection. The intricate details and timeless beauty of Plate Two serve as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past and the enduring appeal of ornamental design.
