" Beautifully Framed, 19th-century Italian Terracotta Cameo Prints Of Ancient Gods & Goddesses"
A beautifully presented collection of antique terracotta cameos, 19th-century prints depicting various mythological subjects of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. These exquisite, delicate, and nuanced terracotta pieces, presented here in a lovely frame, were staged in the 19th century and mounted unglazed on 18th-century marbled paper to allow for appreciation of their details. They constitute a decorative tableau and a "curiosity," illustrating the teaching of art through a pedagogy based on the divinities of the Ancients and their influence on artistic expression. A beautiful tableau of a well-presented collection, with different shades of pink, for these delicate pieces, carefully displayed in a charming Charles X frame.
