Classical European Decorative Painting
These classical ornamental designs were sent to us by a European friend, taken from a nineteenth century, German "pattern" book. If you are looking for brilliant, striking, and yet traditional ideas for decorative painted ornament for walls and ceilings, you can't do better than to study the 75 images you'll find here. Taken from a work entitled "Wasmuth's Neue Malereien", published in 1890 by Ernst Wasmuth, Berlin.
