Leichsenring Studios shares a favorite detail
| Over the years, there have been commissions that have just
been a joy. This picture shows a panel of Grottesca. This
term encompasses detailed ornamental design that includes foliage
and fanciful figures. The term comes from the work that was
discovered in
subterranean caverns, or grottoes below the remains of the Golden House of
Nero. The designs became popular during the 16th century with the many artists who
came to study them. [It came to proliferate the work of Raphael, Pinturicchio
and Gaudenzio Ferrari, among the more notable.} My panel was designed to reflect my client's love of music, and thus features the Muse of Music. It's all in the details. |
