EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning medieval wood mosaic, created by an unknown artist in 1898. The image is divided into different sections, each representing various locations across Europe. Figs 1-6 depict a reading-desk from the cathedral of Orvieto in Italy, while Figs 7 and 8 showcase the stalls of Frari Church in Venice. Moving on to Figs 9-17, we are presented with the vestry-door in S. Anastasia at Verona, and finally Figs 18-27 exhibit the stalls in the minster at Ulm, Germany. The artwork predominantly features band and line ornamentation combined with a unique mosaic technique using small pieces of wood arranged as stars and other shapes. The geometric patterns formed through this intricate process create an enchanting visual spectacle that exemplifies medieval craftsmanship. Plate 39 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from Heinrich Dolmetsch's original German work provides us with this remarkable glimpse into history. The lithograph captures every detail of these ornate wooden designs, showcasing their symmetrical beauty and meticulous attention to detail. This print serves as both a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Germany and Italy during the Middle Ages and a source of inspiration for contemporary interior design enthusiasts seeking to incorporate historical elements into their spaces.
