Bilder Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) – "Large Ornamental Corinthian Capital Design" – Hand-Colored Engraving (c. 1790s)
Beskrivning
This large-format architectural engraving presents an elaborate Corinthian capital, richly adorned with acanthus leaves, volutes, and floral elements. The lower portion showcases the fully detailed capital with deep ornamental relief, while the upper section provides a plan view of the column’s construction, demonstrating Albertolli’s technical precision and mastery of proportion.
Executed in fine line engraving and accented with subtle hand coloring, the piece exemplifies the neoclassical taste for symmetry, ornamentation, and classical ideals. Such plates were not merely decorative but functioned as instructional material for architects and designers trained in the academic traditions of the late 18th century.
Giocondo Albertolli, a master of decorative design and professor at the Brera Academy, was instrumental in shaping Italian neoclassical aesthetics. His engravings combined beauty with utility, making them essential references in architectural education.
