Richard Alsop IV House, CT: The wall paintings of the Richard Alsop IV House are outstanding examples of early to mid nineteenth-century decorative wall painting, once common in American domestic settings, but now largely lost as tastes changed or the materials degraded. The wall painting enlivened the new house that Richard Alsop IV built for his mother between 1836 and 1839; although believed to be used on the exterior for reasons of economy in place of marble ornament, the painting was fully in keeping with fashionable decorative trends of the period. The artists, thought to be recent Italian and German immigrants, utilized a variety of stylistic sources--ancient, Renaissance, and nineteenth-century--from which to derive subject matter and approaches for artistic organization and representation in devising the interior painting programs. The proponents submitted multiple photographs to document the many frescoes inside the house as well as the house itself. |
