Ontwerp voor een hangend wijwatervat c. 1765 - 1775

This design for a hanging holy water font, created by Italian artist Luigi Valadier in the 18th century, is a prime example of Rococo style. The intricate, asymmetrical ornamentation, with its emphasis on curves and swirling lines, is characteristic of the period. The piece features cherubs, clouds, and a burst of light, creating a sense of heavenly grandeur. Valadier was renowned for his decorative arts, particularly his silverwork, and this design showcases his talent for creating elegant and ornate designs.
