Grotesques originally described ornamental frescoes with imaginative, amusing, or even monstrous designs that emerged around 1500 in Italy. These artworks became popular decorations in the elegant villas, palaces, and churches of Rome, Florence, and Northern Italy during the sixteenth century.
An art historical guide to the inventive and decorative frescoes known as grotesques in Renaissance Italy.
This richly illustrated book offers an introduction to grotesques and decorative frescoes from the sixteenth century, shedding new light on the visual culture of a time when art was deeply influenced by both ancient and medieval traditions while moving toward Modernity. It explores how these inventive motifs adorned some of the most exquisite architectural spaces of the era.
Originally published in Danish as Grotesker, this edition has been translated in collaboration with Yale University Press, providing fresh insights into the fascinating world of grotesques and their enduring artistic significance.
