Milano Plaster friezes
Decorations
Visit the wide and evocative show room of the Lombard company so to admire a wide range of items and creations, such as bas-reliefs and plaster friezes in Milano. These are ornamental architectural elements, used to decorate cornices and linear surfaces. In the classical entablature, that is the horizontal structure of the temples, supported by columns, the term frieze indicated the intermediate part, placed between the architrave and the cornice. In the Doric order, the frieze consisted of a succession of metopes and triglyphs. In the Ionic, Corinthian, in Roman and Renaissance art, this important architectural element is transformed into a continuous band decorated in relief. The metope and the triglyph are decorated quadrangular elements. The first type has three vertical grooves while the second is carved with illustrated scenes.
Friezes
During the various eras and with the constant
evolution of decorative and artistic styles, it was reached a new conception of
frieze, starting from the two previously mentioned elements. Some friezes have
a purely floral figures with every kind of stylization and line. This is the
case of the classic garlands and festoons, particularly widespread and
appreciated. But the friezes, can also
be decorated with animal figures, such as the heads of a lion, and human
figures, such as cupids or masks. Even today the plaster friezes in Milano, made by the Milanese company, give a
touch of class, elegance and personality to any place. Moreover, their use goes
well with any type of style and trend, both in classical and in much more
modern contexts. Regarding the reliefs, they are part of the sculpture that,
instead of being a round sculpture, emerges with its figures from a background
plane. In relation to the protusion, the reliefs are classified in: statiacciati,
bas-reliefs, half-reliefs and high-reliefs. For further information, the
