Ornamental frieze from the Basilica of St. Clement, Rome, Italy, (1928). Creator: Unknown
Ornamental frieze from the Basilica of St. Clement, Rome, Italy, (1928). About 1100..." The frieze and plinth paintings belong to the most beautiful mediaeval pieces of decoration...the rosettes...are enclosed by elegantly curved tendrils and alternate with foliage ornament. The plinth is divided into lozenge-shaped compartments by means of bands inter-secting at right angles...The compartments contain cut twigs with red and yellow apples. In four of them there are also golden pheasants, and in the central one a vase filled with fruit. The intersecting bands are undulating with rosettes, bunches of pointed leaves and star-flowers." After J. Wilpert. Plate LIII, fig 118, from " An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert. [Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. Berlin, 1928]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ornamental frieze from the Basilica of St. Clement in Rome, Italy. Created in 1928, this exquisite piece of medieval decoration is truly a sight to behold. The intricate design features elegantly curved tendrils that enclose beautiful rosettes and foliage ornaments. The plinth, divided into lozenge-shaped compartments by intersecting bands, holds cut twigs adorned with vibrant red and yellow apples. Adding even more charm are golden pheasants found in four of the compartments, while the central one boasts a vase overflowing with luscious fruit. The intersecting bands undulate gracefully with additional embellishments such as rosettes, bunches of pointed leaves, and star-flowers. This stunning work of art captures the essence of medieval craftsmanship and attention to detail. Originally documented by J. Wilpert and featured in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert (Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , Berlin), this lithograph transports us back to a time when interior decoration was elevated to an art form. Immerse yourself in history as you admire this remarkable fusion of color and design that has stood the test of time within the sacred walls of Basilica di San Clemente.
