AFTER JOHANN WOLFGANG BAUMGARTNER. Suggestion for the Decoration of Lower Right and Top Right of an Altar Frame, Plate 4 from an Untitled Series with Rocailles Ornaments for Altar and Door Frames

Suggestion for the Decoration of Lower Right and Top Right of an Altar Frame, Plate 4 from an Untitled Series with Rocailles Ornaments for Altar and Door Frames. Artist: After Johann Wolfgang Baumgartner (German, Kufstein 1712-1761 Augsburg). Dimensions: Overall: 8 7/16 × 13 3/4 in. (21.5 × 35 cm). Engraver: Wolffgang Christoph Mayr (German, active Kassel and Augsburg (?), ca. 1740-1770). Publisher: Martin Engelbrecht (German, Augsburg 1684-1756 Augsburg). Date: Printed ca. 1750-56. Page from an album containing 27 series with a total of 122 ornament prints from the fund of the prominent Augsburg publisher Martin Engelbrecht. The binding describes the content as cartouches (after the first series in the album) but it is much more varied, ranging from rocaille ornament and cartouches to designs for altars and pulpits, as well as allegorical compositions in which rococo ornament is featured, all by well-known Rococo designers working in Augsburg.
