Print, Title plate, from Die Folge der phantastichen Scmucksträße (Suite of Fantastic Ornamental Bouquets)
This is a Print. It was created by Wendel Dietterlin the younger. It is dated 1614 and we acquired it in 1942. Its medium is etching on laid paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This delicate series of prints was one of several created by Dietterlin the Younger in the years after the publication of Christoph Jamnitzer’s Neüw Grotteßken Buch in 1610. The late Gothic designs for bouquets were likely intended as patterns for metalwork or jewelry and feature spaces for gems and pearls. Dietterlin’s slender, ethereal creations take the grotesque to its most fragile state—vegetal forms turn monstrous as they terminate, and freestanding figures are at once charming and terrifying.
It is credited Museum purchase through gift of Mrs. John Innes Kane.
