Bloemen 1744 - 1800

"Bloemen" is a collection of seven floral designs by Gottlieb Hess, created between 1744 and 1800. Each design features delicate, stylized flowers and leaves, arranged in graceful, asymmetrical patterns. The drawings are rendered in light grey tones, creating a subtle and elegant effect. These designs would have been used as inspiration for textile patterns, wallpaper, or other decorative arts, reflecting the Rococo taste for elaborate ornamentation and natural motifs. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, highlighting the importance of this artist's contributions to decorative arts.
