He found himself inside a cave and noticed that its walls were decorated with unusual colorful paintings showing monsters, chimeras and sphinxes.<\/p>\n<p>These frescoes immediately aroused great enthusiasm among the Roman artists who came to admire them and remained fascinated. They went down into the cave to observe these wonders, study the compositional elements and then reproduced them in their works.\u00a0Hence why the name &#8220;grotesque&#8221;: because they were found in grottoes.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, those were not caves, but rather the underground remains of Nero&#8217;s Domus Aurea. By now, however, the news of this discovery and the term &#8220;grotesque&#8221; had already quickly spread among the artists of the time who embraced this particular decorative style.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Grottesche-Sala-della-Biblioteca-Castel-Sant-Angelo-Roma.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;on&#8221; overlay_icon_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; hover_overlay_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.07)&#8221; hover_icon=&#8221;%%51%%&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.4&#8243; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Le grottesche della Sala della Biblioteca a Castel Sant&#8217;Angelo&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||on||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(218,221,221,0.52)&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The grotesques in the Library of Castel Sant&#8217;Angelo, Rome, painted by Luzio Luzi and inspired by the frescoes of the Domus Aurea.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Grotesques in Renaissance Art&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Grotesques in Renaissance Art<\/h2>\n<p>In line with the Renaissance trend of re-proposing decorative styles inspired by classical antiquity, grotesques became very popular in cultured circles and were reproduced in Renaissance palaces of nobles and popes. Characteristic are the bright colors, thin outlines, fanciful creatures, natural elements such as garlands and a plain background, often white. All arranged in perfect symmetry.<\/p>\n<p>They spread from Rome to Florence, Bologna, Siena and later to France, Spain and England. Among the artists of the time who contributed to their success are Pinturicchio, Botticelli, Filippino Lippi and, above all, Raffaello and his workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Their works then developed from mere copies of Roman frescoes and became interpretations of the classic subjects of the grotesques, inserting new elements inspired above all by the animal and vegetable world. Moreover, they used them not only for paintings of vaults and walls, but also to embellish furniture, furnishings, fixtures and furnishing fabrics: curtains and tapestries.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;From Frescoes to Baroque Patterns for Fabrics&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.5&#8243; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>From Frescoes to Baroque Patterns for Fabrics<\/h2>\n<p>From Baroque to Neoclassicism and up to the Victorian age: grotesque decorations remained popular until the 19th century, but following the rules of different artistic currents.<\/p>\n<p>Our &#8220;Grotesque&#8221; pattern, which takes up this theme, dates back to the late 1800s, when there was a vogue for style mixtures.

Ormai per\u00f2 la notizia di questa scoperta e il termine \u201cgrottesche\u201d si erano gi\u00e0 rapidamente diffusi tra gli artisti dell\u2019epoca che abbracciarono questo particolare stile decorativo.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Grottesche-Sala-della-Biblioteca-Castel-Sant-Angelo-Roma.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" use_overlay=\"on\" overlay_icon_color=\"#ffffff\" hover_overlay_color=\"rgba(0,0,0,0.07)\" hover_icon=\"%%51%%\" align=\"center\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" _builder_version=\"4.6.4\" max_width=\"600px\" animation_direction=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\" sticky=\"off\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Le grottesche della Sala della Biblioteca a Castel Sant'Angelo\" _builder_version=\"4.6.4\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" border_style=\"solid\" saved_tabs=\"all\"]Le grottesche della Sala della Biblioteca a Castel Sant'Angelo, Roma, realizzate da Luzio Luzi e ispirate agli affreschi della Domus Aurea.<br \/>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.25\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Le grottesche nell\u2019arte rinascimentale\" _builder_version=\"4.6.4\" module_alignment=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><h2>Le grottesche nell\u2019arte rinascimentale<\/h2><p>In linea con la tendenza rinascimentale di riproporre stilemi decorativi ispirati all'antichit\u00e0 classica, le grottesche divennero molto popolari negli ambienti colti e vennero riprodotte nei palazzi rinascimentali di nobili e papi. Caratteristici i colori accesi, le forme esili, le figure fantastiche, gli elementi naturali come le ghirlande e uno sfondo in tinta unita, spesso bianco. Il tutto disposto in perfetta simmetria.<\/p><p>Si diffusero da Roma a Firenze, Bologna, Siena e pi\u00f9 tardi in Francia, Spagna e Inghilterra. Tra gli artisti dell\u2019epoca che contribuirono alla loro affermazione ricordiamo il Pinturicchio, Botticelli, Filippino Lippi e, soprattutto, Raffaello e la sua bottega.<\/p><p>Le loro opere si trasformarono dando spazio anche ad interpretazioni dei soggetti classici delle grottesche, inserendo nuovi elementi ispirati soprattutto al mondo animale e vegetale. Inoltre, cominciarono ad utilizzarle non pi\u00f9 solo per dipinti di volte e pareti, ma anche per impreziosire mobili, suppellettili, infissi e tessuti per arredamento: arazzi, tendaggi e tappezzerie.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Dagli affreschi ai motivi in stile barocco per tessuti\" _builder_version=\"4.6.5\" module_alignment=\"left\" hover_enabled=\"0\" border_style=\"solid\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p><h2>Dagli affreschi ai motivi in stile barocco per tessuti<\/h2><p>Dallo stile barocco a quello neoclassico, fino all\u2019epoca vittoriana: le decorazioni a grottesche rimasero popolari fino all\u2019Ottocento, seguendo per\u00f2 i canoni delle diverse correnti artistiche.<\/p><p>Il nostro motivo \u201cGrottesche\u201d, che riprende questo tema, risale alla fine dell\u2019Ottocento, epoca in cui erano molto in voga le combinazioni di stili diversi.
