Album met landschappen van Jacques Rigaud c. 1700 - 1725

"Album met landschappen van Jacques Rigaud" is a 18th-century marbled paper cover for a book by Dutch artist Jacques Rigaud, now in the Rijksmuseum. The marbled paper cover features a decorative pattern of swirling lines and shapes in shades of blue, yellow, red, and white, creating a richly textured and visually captivating surface. Marbled paper is a traditional decorative technique that involves floating paint on a water bath and then transferring the design to paper, resulting in unique and intricate patterns. The album cover exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship involved in this age-old practice.
