Richly embroidered robes adorned the figures of the Old Masters, their intricate lace collars adding a touch of elegance to their portraits. The meticulously laid floor tiles created a sense of grandeur and sophistication, while the delicately carved and modeled cornices and capitals added a touch of refinement. These intricate details, often overlooked in the grand composition of a painting, played a vital role in establishing a setting, conveying a subject's social status, or simply adding a touch of vibrancy to a scene.
In their paintings, the Old Masters carefully crafted a tapestry of decorative art, each element working together to create a harmonious and captivating masterpiece. These details, when observed closely, reveal a rich history of ornamentation that spans centuries. From the delicate embroidery on robes to the intricate lace collars, from the intricately laid floor tiles to the intricately carved cornices and capitals, these elements formed a cohesive narrative that spoke volumes about the artistic vision and craftsmanship of the era.
This innovative book takes these decorative motifs from the background of paintings by renowned masters such as Bronzino, Fra Angelico, and Jacques-Louis David and transforms them into vibrant two-dimensional patterns. By juxtaposing these patterns with the original paintings, viewers are able to appreciate the depth and complexity of the artistic expression. Patterns in Art serves as a valuable resource for graphic designers, offering inspiration and guidance for creating visually stunning designs. It also opens the eyes of art lovers to the hidden beauty and significance of decorative art, shedding light on its role in shaping the visual language of art throughout history.
