13th Century Print—Île-de-France Cathedral
13th Century Print—Île-de-France Cathedral
One Thousand Years of Gothic Architecture: A Collection of Inspired Drawings
Artist: Stephen Wohleber
Explore Stephen Wohleber’s hand drawn architectural buildings from 10th to Mid-19th Century, each one described as though to be made as a reliquary, or decorative object in miniature, as though each were a life-size drawing of the intended structure. This 13th Century print depicts an Île-de-France Cathedral to be constructed of ivory, delicately carved with roof of tortoise shell and doors of pink coral. All finials and like ornaments of gold. The windows of plique-à-jour enamel, all on a base of polished lapis lazuli with a gold diaper. The rose window of mother of pearl with jade, or pink coral mullions.
