de schoonheid van deurkloppers
I have always loved sometimes half-peeling doors that have faded colors.
During holidays I regularly photographed them (see also the section
photographs). At one point I saw the door knocker that adorned the doors
and started my digital collection. I now have several hundreds of them,
but not like a serious collection with information about origin, size
etcetera.
The only and for me most important thing that remains is to show the
pretty or curious aspects with an occasional comment.
I found this door knocker beautiful as a
picture, but also very suitable for
making a trompe-l'oeil with Vermeer's
milkmaid.
When I visited Bologna, Ravenna and Florence in Italy, I found many nice
examples. A selection of the door knockers photographed there are given
below.
I had never seen a door knocker on glass and one with a wooden head (below
left and right).
And some door knockers are better viewed in a wider context.
