65 Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) – Ceiling Design with Cherubs, Laurels, and Classical Motifs – Archducal Palace in Milan – Copper Engraving (1778–82)
This detailed architectural engraving depicts a richly ornamented ceiling corner executed for a ceremonial chamber in the Archducal Palace of Milan (Palazzo Arciducale di Milano). The composition features festoons of laurel leaves, acanthus borders, putti holding floral garlands, and classical medallions with radiating symmetry. At the center is a prominently framed monogram encircled by floral reliefs. This plate represents half of the full ceiling design, carefully documented by Giocondo Albertolli and engraved with high precision and restrained color accents.
Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) was a leading figure in neoclassical architectural ornament. As a professor of design in Milan, he published multiple collections of architectural plates, which were widely used by architects and artisans. His work emphasized classical symmetry, mathematical proportion, and the refinement of antique decorative systems.
