Rechthoekige cartouche tussen twee ronde cartouches

description

Summary

Boven en onder de ronde cartouches hangen smalle rechthoekige cartouches. Uit serie van 32 bladen. De cartouches zijn deels ontleend aan de prenten van Antonio Fantuzzi naar de decoratie van de Galerie van François 1er door Giovanni Battista Rosso. De serie staat ook bekend onder de titel Petits cartouches de Fontainebleau.

A cartouche or cartouch is an oval design with a slightly convex surface, typically edged with ornamental scrollwork. It is used to hold a painted or low relief design. In Early Modern design, since the early 16th century, the cartouche is a scrolling frame device, derived originally from Italian cartoccia. Such cartouches are characteristically stretched, pierced and scrolling (illustration, left). Another cartouche figures prominently in the title page of Giorgio Vasari's Lives, framing a minor vignette with a device of pierced and scrolling papery cartoccia.
