DR1960:0021
Description:
- This drawing, by an unknown Italian artist, active probably in the area of Bologna in the last half of the 17th century, illustrates some of the conventions of quadratura design - the art of illusionistic wall and ceiling painting - that evolved during that century. Part of a wall and adjacent ceiling are shown as one continuous unfurling of space on a flat sheet of paper. The curve between the vertical and diagonal lines at the left-hand edge of the design indicate a modest coving. Around and above a doorway several ionic columns support an arch and archivolt which is decorated with acanthus leaves, putti, ram's head, and urn below, and satyrs, putti, garlands and urns above. A cornice, cartouche, balustrade, and scrolled pediment complete the decorations.
