Plafond met mythologische voorstellingen 1725 - 1735

This anonymous design for a ceiling from 1725-1735 is a prime example of the Rococo style. The intricate, asymmetrical patterns, delicate scrolls and floral motifs are characteristic of the era. The design features a central cartouche, adorned with a floral arrangement, framed by a lavish, decorative border. The Rococo design, with its playful use of curves and naturalistic elements, was popular in France during the 18th century and reflected a shift towards lightness and elegance. The design likely served as inspiration for decorative embellishments in grand homes and public spaces.
