Данная книга приглашает вас перенестись в переломный период нашего культурного наследия. Эта эпоха сформировала наше коллективное сознание, и ее влияние мы ощущаем и по сей день - ее называют эпохой Возрождения - Ренессанса.

Именно в этот период на свет появился "современный человек", "современный" в новом эмпирическом и научном осознании себя как личности, "современный" в постепенном отходе от средневековых понятий о реальности.

Эта коллекция декоративных орнаментов характерна для духа Ренессанса, в эпоху которого проявилось превосходство орнаментального дизайна. Многие из этих орнаментов были внесены в краткие руководства, которые использовали художники в своей работе. В этих сборниках присутствовали лиственные орнаменты, плетеные орнаменты, перемежающиеся геометрическими линиями, и стилизованные растительные формы; арабески, которые пошли от арабских орнаментов, распространившихся в 15-м веке из Венеции по всей Европе; другие рисунки, используемые для создания скульптур, ювелирных украшений и мебели, украшались необычными существами, напоминающими людей и животных одновременно.

Аналогичные узоры использовались в таких разнообразных областях, как архитектура, живопись, кружевоплетение и текстиль.

Все иллюстрации в этой книге представлены на компакт-диске, которые могут использоваться как на PC, так и на Мас компьютерах. Изображения сохранены в файлах формата TIFF высокого разрешения.

With the Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries came a revival of interest in the classical arts of Ancient Greece and Rome. Although the sculpture and architectural ornamentation during the Renaissance tended to be complex, two-dimensional patterns were often more subdued.

This book and CD-Rom set contains a stunning collection of repeating patterns from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque period. The earlier designs often show domestic animals and animals associated with hunting, such as dogs and deer, or mythical and fantastic beasts, such as unicorns. The later designs are dominated by floral compositions. All periods covered in this book include designs with a clear geometric element.

All designs in this book have been taken from authentic period originals, for the most part from tapestries and other textiles. The often highly intricate repeating quality of the designs makes them suitable for limitless patterns and an infinite range of applications.
