Classic rosette art employs a timeless stylized flower design that has been frequently used in architecture and sculpture over the centuries. This art style is an extension of architectural design art and since its inception in antiquity, the rosette has been highly regarded and widely revered in places all over from Mesopotamia to Greece.
It eventually came to great use in both the Romanesque and Renaissance styles and it’s still a very popular symbol in Central Asian culture.
Home decor prints like rosette art bring a little bit of the old world into a space and rosette illustrations like Jennifer Goldberger’s “Panelled Rosette I” and “Panelled Rosette II” capture a beauty that boasts ease and simplicity.
Many sculptures and architectural designs are sprinkled with subtle nods to rosette prints and all kinds of special ornaments and furniture are carved with the formal botanicl motif. Even metalworkers and jewelry designers find the capacity and opportunity to include rosette illustrations in their works.
As an expansion of architectural design art, rosette prints is full of candor and old fashion that needs no frills to excite. When you take a close look at Janet Kruskamp’s works “Rosette I” and “Rosette II”, you can almost taste the rich history that lies beyond the imagery. Seeing significant artistic details from the past brought back to life is exciting and enriching for any true fan of architectural design.
