Bonn door Schenck voor Truchsess gewonnen, 1587

description

Summary

Plattegrond van de stad Bonn, door Maarten Schenck voor Truchsess gewonnen, 23 december 1587. Episode uit de Keulse Oorlog. Linksboven een cartouche met opschrift van 18 regels in het Duits, rechtsboven de legenda 1-9 in het Duits.

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.
