More about this artwork

Welcome to an artistic exploration of Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita's "Ornament met bloem" (Ornament with Flower), created in 1878. This captivating piece showcases de Mesquita's profound ability to blend geometric design with natural elements within a minimalist aesthetic.In this artwork, the composition is both symmetrical and balanced, featuring an array of vertical and horizontal lines that create a harmonious structure. At the top and bottom of the piece, there are ornate circles that may represent flowers, enhancing the decorative aspect of the work. Central to the design is a diamond-like shape, which could symbolize the core or 'flower' in this ornamental arrangement. The precise vertical lines contribute to a sense of order and tranquility, while the contrasting horizontal lines in the central rectangle provide a focal point, drawing the viewer's gaze inward.The use of monochrome adds to the elegance and timelessness of the work, allowing the viewer to focus purely on the interplay of shapes and lines. "Ornament met bloem" not only demonstrates de Mesquita's mastery in graphic design but also reflects the artful integration of architectural principles into fine art.
