Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | During the Jacobean era, mythical beasts were frequently incorporated into decorative interior architecture, echoing the fascination with folklore and symbolism of the time. Crewe Hall in Cheshire, UK, exemplifies this trend with its portrayal of mythical creatures in various forms such as carved woodwork, plasterwork, and painted murals. These fantastical beasts, ranging from dragons and griffins to unicorns and sphinxes, adorned ceilings, walls, and furnishings, adding an air of mystery and enchantment to the space. Beyond mere decoration, these mythical beings served as symbols of power, protection, and the supernatural, reflecting the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the period. |
