Rosette Framed Prints

Framed Rosette Art include the designs used for sculptural objects in antiquity, especially ancient Greece where they were found virtually everywhere. Their success was remarkable and not surprisingly they were readopted centuries later in the Renaissance. Painters and sculptures were equally fascinated by these simple designs and chose to incorporate them in their artwork. Small enough as to go unnoticed, they stand out from the crowd at a closer inspection and they linger for a long time in memory.

Contrary to popular belief, rosette is not a flower design specific to European cultures and can be found in several buildings in central Asia. Framed Rosette Art even includes designs specific to India where Buddhist art used it extensively for both official structures in private residences. The flower motive was carved in wood or stone and the ultimate goal was to create decorative ornaments of great beauty. They were also much appreciated when used for jewelry designs and metalworking, and on some occasions, they proved to be suitable for military awards as well.
