If it is acceptable to use the word “fashion” when talking about masks, we can safely say: masks have it. The image, once awe-inspiring, has now become a decorative element.
Furious primitivism
Red Cover/
Ken Hayden The mysticism and unusual plasticity of African masks attracted the attention of Europeans at the beginning of the twentieth century. In works of traditional art, both complex decor and unusual shape. Today in African countries, especially popular masks are replicated many times, and they become simply ethnic souvenirs. Their manufacturers deliberately emphasize and exaggerate certain features that attract Europeans. These crafts resemble creative copies of original masks that originally depicted the faces of deities and heroes. Some of these wooden products cost less than 1,500 rubles, but real masks are much more expensive.

Among the Venetian masks, one must distinguish between antiques, modern works of art and souvenirs. All this can be put to good use. Instances self made- figurative, they are characterized by the author’s understanding of the era. There is an established industry for producing masks that are available to everyone. There are also those who make them to order: the prices for such masterpieces are no less amazing than their appearance. Decorative masks for the interior are made from ceramics and porcelain, leather and papier-mâché (the most available material). Feathers, beads, tiny bells, brocade and silk are used for decoration. The surface is painted with acrylic paints and trimmed with gold and silver foil. Masks are often coated with a layer of special enamel to make them resemble antique ones.

Under reliable protection
The outwardly aggressive appearance of the redesigned mask should not be intimidating. According to ancient beliefs, frightening masks drive away evil spirits, troubles and various troubles from a person’s home. In ancient times, most figurines and masks were created with good intentions: they expressed wishes for good luck, a rich harvest and rain, good health, good hunting and the birth of offspring.
In the interior, it is better to place masks compactly, dedicating one of the walls of the room for them. They look good in walk-through areas, such as hallways. Large masks should not be hung too low (this will make them visually heavier), but not too high (not near the ceiling). It is hardly worth hanging masks on the sunny side - then they will lose their inherent mystery.

It is unlikely that I will tell you anything new by calling Venice an unusual city. Its difference from other cities is a well-known fact, and it manifests itself in almost everything: from its unique location to souvenirs that are so different from the standard tourist set. You can bring absolutely amazing things as a souvenir of Venice - sparkling Murano glass, the most delicate lace from Burano, stationery“antique” and, of course, masks - a symbol of the carnival that made Venice famous throughout the world.
For many centuries, carnival and masks were an integral part of Venetian life, although (strangely enough!) they were not always connected. Both of them date back to pre-Christian times - even the ancient Romans, celebrating the fertility holiday - Saturnalia, used masks. Masks not only hid the faces of those celebrating, but also erased social boundaries, making free and slaves equal during the fun. It is generally accepted that the first Venetian carnival took place in 1094, although other dates are also given. After a couple of centuries, the carnival becomes an annual event taking place before the long period of Lent. By the way, in the first centuries of the carnival, the Venetians did not wear masks or special costumes during the holiday, but simply had fun. But in subsequent centuries, masks became so popular that they were worn even without carnival.
Lovers who did not want to advertise their relationship, and noble townspeople who visited gambling houses and other dubious places hid their faces under masks. Sometimes the real criminals were hidden under the guise. The masks were in great demand, and the artisans who made them were no less famous than the Murano glassblowers or the Burana lacemakers.
Several times the city authorities tried to ban the wearing of masks outside the carnival, but the Venetians persistently violated the law. Masks disappeared from the everyday life of the Venetians around the end of the 18th century, when, having experienced rapid prosperity, the Venetian carnival ceased to exist. And the famous carnival was revived not so long ago - a little over thirty years ago. And it immediately became an event that attracted thousands of tourists to the city on the water. Yes, it became part of tourism business, but carnival Venice in festive decoration is so good, alive and spontaneous that you can ignore everything else.
While not all city guests can come to the carnival, you can admire the variety of masks at any time of the year. Carnival masks for every taste and budget are sold literally at every turn, but it is better to look for a truly Venetian product in special workshops, where beautiful papier-mâché or leather masks are made in the same way as centuries ago.
There are many types of Venetian masks, and it is absolutely impossible to show them all. But I will still allow myself a short excursion. For a long time Masks of commedia dell'arte, a special street theater that arose in Italy during the Renaissance, were extremely popular. This is Pantalone, and Brighella, and Harlequin, and the Captain, and the Doctor, and Pulcinella in various variations and, of course, female character- Columbine.
Nowadays, these characteristic masks, simple in design, are not particularly popular with buyers; only collectors are interested in them. The exception is Columbine's half mask. However, look at how bright multi-colored products decorated with beads, rhinestones and lush feathers differ from a simple black half mask.
Another group of Venetian masks are those that arose over the many centuries of the existence of the carnival. The simplest of them is Bauta, which repeats the shape human face. Combined with a black hat and a long black cloak, it made the perfect costume for a man who wanted to remain unrecognized (Venice is not very Big city!) In such a mask, the voice changed, which added anonymity to its owner. The mask with a black cocked hat is called Bauta Casanova - in honor of the same Casanova who, when going in search of adventure, preferred to wear just such an outfit.
The Venetian Lady is a beautiful mask depicting a beauty from the heyday of Venetian power. Feathers, jewelry, gilding, various hairstyles and exquisite headdresses are its distinctive features. The more magnificent and luxurious - the better! It is not surprising that this mask is also loved by modern carnival participants.
Such a black mask these days is only made on special orders. But Moretta (or the Dumb Maid) was once one of the most popular! The mask is designed in such a way that the woman wearing it cannot speak - the fastening of the mask must be clamped with the teeth. They say that Moretta was especially appreciated by Venetian husbands, tired of women's chatter.
The terrible mask of the Plague Doctor has an equally terrible origin. In the Middle Ages, the plague was one of the most devastating disasters - it sometimes wiped out entire cities and emptied countries. This type of mask was actually worn by doctors during epidemics, wrapped in a long cloak and carrying a long stick so as not to touch the sick with their hands. Fragrant oils were placed in the long hooked nose of the mask and medicinal herbs– to protect against infection and not to feel the stench. These days, this mask is simply extremely popular - everything terrible people For some reason it attracts!
Volto's mask, also known as Citizen, is also very famous. This type of mask could be worn by representatives of all classes (hence the “democratic” name). Simple in form, it represents ideal field for creativity modern masters. After all, you can paint and decorate such a mask in a variety of ways!
One of my favorite masks (I'm sure you already guessed it) is Cat. There is an unlikely legend about a cat, brought from China, who caught all the mice in the palace of the Venetian Doge and became a local celebrity. True, then the cat returned to his homeland anyway - they paid for expensive Chinese silks as the greatest value. I don't know what about exactly Chinese cat, but in Venice there were actually few cats of their own (and there were more than enough mice). And the mask is very cute, isn't it?
No medieval holiday, be it in a royal palace, a noble house or in a city square, was complete without a jester. Therefore, the Jester mask (there are many variations of names) is one of the most famous at the Venetian carnival. Her main attribute is a long cap, to the ends of which are attached bells that ring with every step. This mask was accompanied by a matching costume made from bright multi-colored scraps.
The variety of Venetian masks is truly endless. In addition, modern artists (there is no other way to call it), while preserving ancient traditions in technology, keep up with the times in subject matter. Nowadays you can find masks in the form of aliens, goblins, elves, sea monsters and heroes of modern cinema! There are also products based on famous works of painting or evoking historical and literary characters. There are also unique masks born from the unbridled imagination of artists.
In addition to laconic leather and richly decorated papier-mâché masks (which, by the way, are often artificially “aged”), in Venice you can find items made of ceramics, porcelain and even metal. These are so-called interior masks designed to bring a little Italian flavor into our home. Indeed, having bought a mask in Venice, you can use it not only for its intended purpose, wearing it at the carnival, or as a souvenir reminiscent of beautiful city, but also “make it work” to decorate the house. By the way, such masks do not have to be brought specifically from Venice; they can be bought in other countries. And many artists (including in Russia) create, although not real “Venetian”, beautiful artistic masks “in the style” that can add a special touch to the design of any interior.
When choosing a mask to decorate your home, you can focus on an existing design, or, on the contrary, you can play up the purchase by making changes to the design. Any mask will do - the main thing is that you like it! Or it suited your character and your outlook on life (a mask can tell a lot about its owner!).
Venetian masks look very good in combination with antique mirrors, exquisite curtains and porcelain, glass or matching style. small plastic. But also in modern interior, devoid of all sorts of “dust collectors” and “trinkets”, they can become an interesting contrasting note.
In my opinion, wall-mounted Venetian masks are good both on their own and in frames that suit the style.
Paired masks, matched by theme or color, can become a bright accent in the living room, dining room and even the kitchen. What do you think of these options?
Or you can create a whole composition from similar masks. True, it seems to me that in this case it is better to use miniature products so as not to overload the interior.
I really liked this original solution for the bedroom. Very Venetian...
And in this interior, where the main role is played by a chest of drawers painted with Italian motifs, a small mask along with candles and a figurine of an angel makes the composition complete.
Fun miniature masks on stands can serve as cute decorations dressing table or chest of drawers. As they say, options are possible!
If you are confused by the idea of hanging masks on the walls (I have often come across the opinion that this is bad omen), and you like the carnival mood, you can use accessories in the style of “Venetian masks” in the interior. I especially liked the table - I wish I could find one like that!
And for needlewomen (of whom I know there are many here!) I can offer a sketch of an embroidery depicting the Venetian carnival.
In our house, Venetian masks are used to decorate the so-called “art corner” (my husband’s term). I admit, I bought all this without any ideas - simply because I liked it. But now it seems to me that my most favorite albums (and many of them are devoted to Italian painting and architecture) fit well in such an environment.
What do you think of Venetian masks? Would you “let” them into your home?

In addition to the fireplace, if space allows, you can install a table with a massive marble top in the living room or kitchen to highlight the style.
Almost all the furniture used to create interiors in the Venetian style is of impressive size. And therefore, the dream of such luxury can only be realized in large rooms.
It must be taken into account that classic house Venice is, first of all, beauty and chic, and only then – comfort and coziness. This feature is not convenient for everyone, so when considering the future design of your apartment, consider your needs.

Bathroom and kitchen decor
Bathrooms and kitchens in the Venetian style require columns and arches. Small niches are also specially created where it is customary to display elegant and expensive accessories.
The shades of the walls in the kitchen and bathroom should be predominantly pastel; for this purpose, light plaster or wallpaper is selected. An interior in this style is unthinkable without large mirrors and good lighting, since Venice is always a celebration and luxury.
Spacious living room
The Venetian living room is a large room With high ceiling. The choice of style colors is quite wide. It is necessary to use wallpaper with deep and noble shades.

Apply Venetian plaster You can do it on the walls yourself, the main thing is to carefully study the installation technology.
Despite the many demands of this luxury style and significant costs for its implementation in the interior, fans of Venice create an atmosphere in their homes that is reminiscent of gondolas, stilts, the Adriatic and pigeons in Piazza San Marco.
Masks hide the face and decorate the interior. Of those that decorate the interior, there are fashionable and unfashionable ones. In this article we will talk about fashionable ones. Don't take others. The exception is if they have sunk into your soul.
Europeans noticed them at the beginning of the 20th century. African masks have attracted attention with their mystical shapes, appearance and complex but beautiful patterns.
In Africa, they realized that they could make money from this addiction of Europeans, and launched the production of masks on an industrial scale.
However, as happens with many other things, masks have not lost popularity and are still used as souvenirs and home decorations. The reason is that modern pieces copy ancient ones, which were worn by shamans during rituals or which depicted gods and heroes.
Today, African masks come in two types:
- those that are made in line production (price approximately 1,500 rubles);
- those that are made by hand (their prices vary).
Venetian masks are divided into three types:
- antiques;
- modern;
- souvenirs
They are made by hand (they are expensive, but very beautiful and excite the imagination) and in mass production (cheaper, but suitable for home decor). Beads, feathers, silk, brocade, bells, drawings from acrylic paints, gold or silver foil, enamel, etc. The latter is used to make the masks look like antique objects.
To decorate the interior, people buy masks made of porcelain, ceramics, leather and papier-mâché.
Don't be alarmed. And don’t think that you shouldn’t decorate your interior with them, because they’re scary. On the contrary, they will not only decorate the house, but also improve the environment. According to legend, frightening masks drove out evil spirits from the house, which brought troubles and troubles. In addition, in ancient times such masks were given to wish good luck, a rich harvest, health, good hunting and strong children.
If you hang masks haphazardly, then even the most beautiful specimens will look stupid and ruin the look. To prevent this from happening, hang masks on one wall, not on all of them.
The ideal place is the hallway and other places through which owners and guests often pass.
Bad places- sunny. When the sun shines on the masks, they lose their mystery and turn into ordinary objects.
If the mask is large, hang it midway between the floor and ceiling.
