The artwork, titled “Greek no. 4. Ornaments from Greek and Etruscan vases,” was created by Owen Jones and belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This design piece is included in the series known as “The Grammar of Ornament,” which was published in 1856.
The artwork features a sophisticated array of ornamental patterns representative of Greek and Etruscan vase design. Each section exhibits an intricate combination of floral and geometrical motifs, meticulously rendered in vibrant hues of red, black, orange, and green. The symmetrical arrangements and rhythmic patterns capture the elegance and intricacy characteristic of ancient Greek and Etruscan art, providing a visually harmonious and culturally rich tapestry.
