Richly embroidered robes. Intricate lace collars. Elaborately laid
floor tiles. Delicately carved and modelled cornices and capitals.
These are among the details of decorative art that the Old Masters
lovingly rendered in their paintings, to establish a setting,
convey a portrait subject's social status, or sometimes just
enliven a scene. Together these details - so easy to overlook in
the imposing harmony of draftsmanship, colour, and composition that
makes up a great painting - form a veritable history of ornament.
This inventive book plucks these decorative motifs from the
background of paintings by masters like Bronzino, Fra Angelico and
Jacques-Louis David, and transforms them into vibrant
two-dimensional patterns. Seeing these patterns side-by-side with
the original paintings deepens our appreciation of both. Patterns
in Art will be a resource for graphic designers, and a revelation
for all art lovers.
