The acanthus leaf has provided decorators the richest and noblest ornament of our history. We know that it is from her that the Athenian sculptor Gallimaque wrote the Corinthian capital and Vitruvius tells how this ingenious discovery.

Present everywhere in ornamentation, it is still a mystery to many.

The acanthus was a plant that loses its leaves in the fall and saw the spring. It grows throughout the Mediterranean basin, and delights in the shade of trees and walls. Three species of the twelve identified interest us, it is the soft acanthus acanthus leaf and thorny acanthus. The thorny acanthus acanthus leaf and does illustrate that in antiquity and the Middle Ages while the soft acanthus is required in almost all French styles.E n examining a natural leaf, we are struck by the fertile imagination of our ancestors. Its ornamental transcription so rich and elegant, removes it from its original form developed in the seventeenth century, it detaches completely indulging in the pleasures of the Baroque
