German Renaissance painted plaster ornament, (1898). Creator: Unknown
German Renaissance painted plaster ornament, (1898). Our representations illustrate further details of the ceiling in the large knights hall of the castle of Heiligenberg mentioned with Plate 72. This ceiling is carved entirely of lime-wood and profusely coloured, specially with blue, red, green, gold and silver. But in spite of this richness of colours and the surprising variety of foliage, tendrils, ribbon-work, figures etc. it does not in the least appear overladen or unquiet, but the total impression on the eye is, as mentioned before, throughout agreeable and harmonious. Schloss Heiligenberg, in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, was built in the 13th century and remodelled in the Renaissance style in the late 16th century. Plate 76 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning German Renaissance painted plaster ornament from 1898. The creator of this intricate artwork remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The photograph provides a closer look at the ceiling in the grand knights hall of Schloss Heiligenberg, located in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. The ornate lime-wood carvings are adorned with a rich array of colors including blue, red, green, gold, and silver. Despite the abundance of hues and the astonishing variety of foliage, tendrils, ribbon-work, and figures depicted on the ceiling's surface, it maintains a sense of harmony and elegance. This masterpiece exemplifies the beauty and craftsmanship prevalent during the German Renaissance period. Schloss Heiligenberg itself has a fascinating history dating back to the 13th century but was remodeled in the late 16th century to embrace Renaissance architectural styles. The castle stands as a testament to both medieval fortifications and refined artistic sensibilities. This particular image is Plate 76 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from Heinrich Dolmetsch's original German text by B. T. Batford in London in 1898. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only this exquisite piece but also gain insight into historical interior design trends. Overall, this print encapsulates centuries-old artistry within its frame—a visual feast for those captivated by intricate patterns, mythological motifs such as cherubs and putti (angelic figures), stylized floral elements, and decorative plasterwork that graced palaces like Schloss Heiligenberg during Germany's vibrant past.
