Federico Agnelli - Portret van Ferdinand II
Summary
Portret van de Duitse keizer Ferdinand II in een ovaal met randschrift. Geheel in een afzonderlijk gegraveerde omlijsting bestaande uit een gekroonde dubbelkoppige adelaar met een rijksappel, de ketting van de Orde van het Gulden Vlies en een lint met opschrift. Onder een cartouche met de spreuk 'plus ultra' tussen de twee Zuilen van Hercules.
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.
