Hekken met bloemmotieven 1772 - 1779

"Hekken met bloemmotieven" is a design for two wrought-iron railings by French artist Jean Pelletier, created between 1772 and 1779. The design, featured in a print, showcases intricate details with floral motifs and geometric patterns, demonstrating Pelletier's talent for combining ornate aesthetics with functional elements. The designs exemplify the popular Rococo style prevalent in the mid-18th century, characterized by delicate curves, elaborate ornamentation, and playful asymmetry. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic and architectural trends of the era, reflecting the elegance and sophistication favored by European elite.
