Friezes with Birds, Flowers and Meandering Wreaths and Scrolls (3) 1600 - 1620

Theodor Bang's "Friezes with Birds, Flowers and Meandering Wreaths and Scrolls (3)" is a fine example of a decorative frieze print from the early 17th century. The print displays a symmetrical design of two birds perched upon flowering branches with a central floral motif. The intricate scrolls and flourishing vines create a dynamic and harmonious composition typical of Baroque-era ornament, providing a versatile pattern for a variety of applications like textiles or architectural design. This etching, part of a larger series, showcases Bang's talent for depicting naturalistic details while emphasizing the intricate beauty of the decorative arts.
