Sheet with pattern of brightly colored landscapes in hexagonal frames 1775 - 1875

This is an undated patterned sheet of brightly colored landscapes in hexagonal frames, by an anonymous artist. The regular repetition of similar images creates a feeling of rhythm. The scenes depict an idealized European countryside, and the geometric patterning and vibrant colors resemble wallpaper or textile designs. One wonders about the purpose of this sheet. Was it a study for a larger project, or an end in itself? The unknown identity of the artist also raises questions. Who created this? What was their background, their training, their position in society? Perhaps the artist was a woman, whose work has been overlooked or misattributed in the male-dominated art world. Without knowing the artist's identity, the sheet takes on an added layer of mystery, inviting us to imagine the untold stories behind its creation.
