About the work
This design served as inspiration and was not meant to be literally reproduced. The base and trunk of intertwined branches and leaves, for example, would be very difficult to execute and never form a stable whole. Certain decorative elements recur frequently in art from Wenzel von Olmütz’s time. In addition to the foliate motifs, note the angels here and elsewhere in the gallery.
