Jan Caspar Philips - Cartouche met allegorie op de geschiedenis van Griekenland

description

Summary

Een landschap met op de achtergrond de Kolos van Rhodos en op de voorgrond enkele figuren bij een wereldbol, waaruit door drie putti parten worden genomen. Rechts staat Minerva naast de schrijvende Geschiedenis. Op de grond zitten twee putti met tablet en papier met Griekse gebieden.

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.
