When talking about Art Nouveau fabrics<\/strong>, we refer to those beautiful floral and ornamental motifs typical of this artistic movement. In this article, we will discover the characteristics, history, and collection of Luigi Bevilacqua’s Art Nouveau textiles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, contemporary with the Belle \u00c9poque, the Art Nouveau style represented one of the first attempts to create a modern aesthetic. It is characterized by dynamic ornamental lines with stylized plant and zoomorphic motifs as protagonists: fruits, amphoras, laurel wreaths, birds, butterflies, and, above all, flowers. The floral element is so predominant that, in Italy, the movement is often referred to as Stile Floreale<\/em> (Floral Style).<\/p>\n In Art Nouveau, flowers and other natural elements are depicted with sinuous, flowing lines reminiscent of the natural world\u2019s curves. The figures, though stylized and exaggerated in size, convey a sense of preciousness. This simplification is emphasized through the use of two-dimensional forms, often without shading, defined by clear contours.<\/p>\n An example is the Art Nouveau soprarizzo velvet<\/a>, where the elegant floral motif of irises framed by long, slender leaves, enriches one of the most exclusive fabrics in our collection, still still handcrafted today on historic 18th-century looms.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Velluto-Soprarizzo-Liberty-blu-telaio-600×800-1.jpg” title_text=”Velluto Soprarizzo Liberty blu telaio 600×800″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ max_width=”450px” module_alignment=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”DIDASCALIA ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ text_line_height=”1em” background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”450px” module_alignment=”center” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Art Nouveau Soprarizzo Velvet<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”par1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Straight lines often end in graceful, elegant curves, known as \u201cwhiplash\u201d curves. The predominant colors are often white or peacock blue, as well as soft, natural hues such as lilac, brown, mustard, olive green, and sage green. An example of these color combinations is the refined Tulipani silk lampas<\/a>, available in various shades including coral, jade, antique yellow, almond, and green.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lampasso-Tulipani-corallo-094-34040.jpg” title_text=”Lampasso Tulipani corallo 094-34040″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”DIDASCALIA – Lampasso TULIPANI” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ text_line_height=”1em” background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Tulipani Lampas<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”par1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Among our Art Nouveau fabrics<\/strong>, the multicolored Fresie velvet<\/a> is particularly remarkable.

In response to this homogenization, around 1880, artistic and philosophical movements emerged across Europe, seeking to rediscover the value of art and craftsmanship, inspired by the principles of the Arts and Crafts<\/a> movement.<\/p>\n These movements promoted a return to nature, admired for its formal perfection and dynamism. Strong influences also came from Japanese Ukiyo-e<\/em> prints, characterized by natural motifs and refined stylizations.<\/p>\n This new decorative language was applied to all forms of art: from architecture to interior design, from glass, ceramic, and metalwork to the graphic design of books, newspapers, posters, and even textile ornamentation.<\/p>\n The term Art Nouveau<\/em> was first used in Belgium, but it was with the 1900 Paris Exposition that this style spread across Europe and beyond. It took on different names depending on the country: Jugendstil<\/em> in Germany, Secessionsstil<\/em> in Austria, Modernismo<\/em> in Spain, and, in Italy, Stile Floreale<\/em> or Stile Liberty<\/em>.<\/p>\n The name Liberty<\/em> comes from Arthur Lasenby Liberty, the founder of Liberty & Co. in London, a department store specializing in imported furnishings and fabrics from the Far East. Around 1890, Liberty began collaborating with British designers associated with Art Nouveau, whose patterns had a profound influence on decorative textiles. In Italy, the fabrics sold by Liberty & Co. became so popular that the store\u2019s name became synonymous with the style.<\/p>\n With its flowing floral motifs and intricate ornamental designs, Art Nouveau continues to inspire the creation of extraordinary decorative fabrics, such as those in the Bevilacqua collection. These Art Nouveau fabrics <\/strong>celebrate the beauty of nature and the artisanal tradition that makes them truly unique.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cover photo credit: ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Berthon-Art-nouveau-poster-203×300.jpg” admin_label=”poster Liberty” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Un manifesto pubblicitario in stile Liberty” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ text_line_height=”1em” background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An Art-Nouveau<\/p>\n Advertising Poster<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Discover Art Nouveau fabrics from the Luigi Bevilacqua collection: velvets and lampas made in Venice, for furniture and haute couture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":63544,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" [et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"intro+par1\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Quando parliamo di tessuti in stile Liberty<\/strong>, ci riferiamo a quei meravigliosi motivi floreali e ornamentali tipici dell\u2019Art Nouveau. In questo articolo scopriremo le caratteristiche, la storia e la collezione Luigi Bevilacqua di tessuti decorativi Art Nouveau<\/strong>.<\/p> A cavallo tra XIX e il XX secolo, contemporaneo della Belle \u00c9poque, lo Stile Liberty<\/strong> rappresenta uno dei primi tentativi di creare un\u2019estetica moderna. Si distingue per linee ornamentali dinamiche, con motivi vegetali e zoomorfi stilizzati come protagonisti: frutta, anfore, corone d\u2019alloro, uccelli, farfalle e, soprattutto, fiori. L\u2019elemento floreale \u00e8 talmente predominante che in Italia il movimento viene spesso definito Stile Floreale<\/strong>.<\/p> Nello Stile Liberty, i fiori e gli altri elementi del mondo vegetale sono raffigurati con linee ondulate che richiamano le forme sinuose della natura. Le figure, pur stilizzate ed enfatizzate nelle dimensioni, conferiscono un senso di preziosit\u00e0 all\u2019insieme. La semplificazione \u00e8 accentuata dall\u2019uso di forme bidimensionali, spesso prive di ombreggiature e definite da contorni netti.<\/p> Un esempio \u00e8 il velluto soprarizzo Art Nouveau<\/a>, in cui l\u2019elegante motivo floreale con iris incorniciati da lunghe foglie affusolate arricchisce uno dei tessuti pi\u00f9 esclusivi della nostra collezione, realizzato ancora oggi a mano, su telai storici del \u2018700.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Velluto-Soprarizzo-Liberty-blu-telaio-600x800-1.jpg\" title_text=\"Velluto Soprarizzo Liberty blu telaio 600x800\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" max_width=\"450px\" module_alignment=\"center\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"DIDASCALIA \" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12\" text_line_height=\"1em\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"450px\" module_alignment=\"center\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Velluto soprarizzo Art Nouveau<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"par1\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Le linee rette possono terminare in curve aggraziate ed eleganti, dette \u201ca frusta\u201d, e molto spesso i colori predominanti sono bianco o blu pavone, oppure tenui e naturali, in particolare lilla, marrone, senape, verde oliva e verde salvia.
