Gaspar Bouttats - Gezicht op Delfzijl

description

Summary

Gezicht op de vestingstad Delfzijl. Op de voorgrond, buiten de stadsmuren, de Eems met enkele zeilschepen en galjoenen. Een schip wordt gerepareerd. Boven het stadsgezicht een cartouche met de naam van de stad.

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.
