Lot 0725: ANTIQUE 19 C ITALIAN GRAND TOUR MASKARON CORNICE

41 reviews

A rare highly collectible antique 19th century Grand Tour Italian plaster architectural sauvage cornisa with three color painted maskarons possibly depicting faces of Green Man. The design of this architectural sauvage piece goes in tone with previous Renaissance grotesque artworks like, for example, the etchings by Flemish artist Cornelis Floris in the late 16th century. Also the burlesque, neo classicist masks have elements that can refer to other artists like Arent van Bolten. The architectural details like this one were intended to be Grand Tour souvenirs very popular among North Europe travelers.
