The acanthus motif has been known in the architecture of Greek culture since the 5th century BC and was used, for example, on the Corinthian column capitals. Acanthus (Acanthus mollis) is also known as "hogweed"; it is a thistle-like perennial plant from the Mediterranean region whose feathery, curled leaves were often used as a decorative motif in antiquity.
The acanthus motif has been used in art without interruption since antiquity, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the Baroque period, where it was used particularly in goldsmithing and book illumination. The acanthus motif can also often be seen on gravestones, as it is associated with immortality and resurrection in a Christian context.
