Staircase from Cassiobury Park, Hertfordshire, attributed to Edward Pearce (MET, 32.152)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The exuberant carving of this magnificent staircase is attributed to the English master Edward Pearce, but it is similar to the work of Grinling Gibbons, who, like many other influential artists in seventeenth-century England, was Dutch. In keeping with Baroque ideals, the design consists of natural vegetal elements restrained and ordered by art. A dramatically undercut acanthus scroll with seed pods carries the balustrade between square newels; neatly arranged oak leaves compose the molding below, and pine cone finials crown the corner posts. Note: some sources attribute this work to Grinling Gibbons.
