Portret van keizer Rudolf II in omlijsting met allegorische figuren

description

Summary

Rudolf II, keizer van het Heilig Roomse Rijk. Portret in ovaal gevat in een architecturale omlijsting met drie personificaties: links Minerva, rechts IJver en boven het portret Overwinning. Onder het portret in een cartouche een veldslag. Links- en rechtsonder geketende gevangenen. De prent heeft een Latijns onderschrift.

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.
