Extensive Collection of Gothic Artwork from Ornamentenschatz, 1887

About the Item

"Extensive Collection of Gothic Artwork from Ornamentenschatz, 1887" Description: This compilation features a selection of prints by H. Dolmetsch from the "Ornamentenschatz," published by Verlag J. Hoffmann, Stuttgart, in 1887. The prints showcase a diverse array of Gothic motifs and designs including stained glass, manuscripts, textiles, architectural details, and decorative panels. Each piece intricately displays the characteristics of Gothic art such as pointed arches, elaborate foliage, religious iconography, and vivid color schemes. Attractiveness and Decorative Appeal: These prints are visually striking due to their vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship. Gothic art is renowned for its elaborate ornamentation and the ability to convey a sense of divine transcendence and intricate beauty. Each print captures the essence of Gothic aesthetics, emphasizing verticality, light, and the symbolic use of intricate patterns and figures. Gold-Plated Appearance Technique: The gold-plated appearance in these prints is achieved through the use of chromolithography, which utilizes multiple layers of color to produce a rich and multi-dimensional effect. Gold-toned inks are applied to create the illusion of gold leaf, a technique commonly used in medieval manuscripts and religious art to signify sanctity and royalty. This method enhances the prints with a shimmering quality that replicates the luxuriousness of actual gold used in Gothic artworks.
