Interior Ornamented Wall with Window and Furniture, nos. 411–424, plate 64 from "Designs for Various Ornaments"
Artist and publisher Michelangelo Pergolesi Italian
Not on view
This design for an interior wall design includes a window, drapery and furniture, with sections numbered 411 to 424. The print comes from a group created and published serially in London by Pergolesi between 1777 and 1792. There is no title page, but a prospectus of ca. 1786 described the group as: "A great variety of original designs of vases, figures, medallions, friezes, pilasters, panels and other ornaments, in the Etruscan and grotesque style." The complete set contains 67 plates numbered 1-66 (two are numbered 56), with designs within the plates irregularly numbered 1-435 (in Roman numerals at first, with Arabic numbers later introduced). In 1801, after Pergolesi's death, four additional plates of designs were published by a bookseller Dulouchamp (or Dulonchamp).
