Abounding in cherubs, nymphs, soldiers, kings, dragons, and other flamboyant motifs, this compilation of ornamental designs was originally published in Paris during the 1840s. The extravagant images are based on a wide variety of historical examples that date back as far as the 1500s and include imaginative renderings by Watteau and Dürer. Created as embellishments for walls, arms and armor, and everyday objects, these designs remain eminently useful for graphic and decorative purposes.

Пристрастие к фантастическим эффектам берет свое начало в духе и искусстве античных времен. Горгоны, циклопы и сатиры были первыми фантастическими существами античного искусства и мифологии.

В эпоху Ренессанса возродился интерес к воображаемому и сверхъестественному, который подогревался археологическими открытиями в Риме. Страстный любитель искусства Вазари выражал свое восхищение при виде Лоджий Ватикана с росписями Рафаэля, "гипсовых изваяний, окруженных живописными орнаментами гротесков в античном стиле, с их непередаваемыми фантазиями и изобилием разнообразных, не поддающихся описанию вещей". Зарождается искусство гротеска с его демонами, чудовищами и нереальными существами - полулюдьми, полуживотными - Горгонами, масками и сиренами в самом центре архитектурного декора.

В тот же период чудовища, созданные фантазией Альбрехта Дюрера, верного традициям готического стиля, Иеронима Босха и Брейгеля, стали встречаться и в работах мастеров Северной Европы. Изначально некая часть христианской иконографии, дьяволы и ангелы - будь то ангелы-хранители или злые духи - появлялись в фантастических работах мастеров стран Северной Европы, к которым также можно было причислить безумцев и проклятых, осужденных гореть в аду.

Магия, алхимия и колдовство завершают темную сторону этих образов.

В 18-м веке стал развиваться театральный стиль с его многочисленными разнообразными орнаментами, необычными по своей форме. Культ сверхъестественного проявился в "тайном" стиле с его завихряющимися, зооморфными формами.
И, наконец, еще один совершенно иной причудливый стиль был создан в 19-м веке такими художниками, как Гюстав Дорэ и Гранвилль, которые одушевляли животных и культивировали мир Франсуа Рабле.

Данная энциклопедия предлагает вашему вниманию изображения, одновременно необычные, удивительные, занимательные и заставляющие задуматься.
