Légende

French Renaissance ceiling painting, (1898). 'Figs 1 and 3: Painted ceilings of timbers in the Castle at Blois (François I), [16th century]. Figs 2 and 4: Painted binding-beams on the same ceilings. Fig 5: Painted span-ceiling in the Castle at Wideville (Louis XIII), [17th century]. Figs 6, 7 and 8: Painted binding-beams on the same ceiling...In this plate span-ceilings only are taken into consideration, the character of which is entirely preserved by the applied painting. Each single beam has a special painting, several of them together forming a pattern regularly repeated...The lateral faces of the beams have generally only one tone; the connecting beams however, are distinguished by a rich decoration on the sides and on the under face...'. Plate 63 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
