Heinrich Aldegrever - Rhea Silvia

description

Summary

Rhea, staand naakt in een landschap, achter haar worden haar twee kinderen Romulus en Remus weggedragen door een man. Op de achtergrond in het landschap opnieuw de man met de twee kinderen, dichtbij de rivier de Tiber, waarin hij ze zal leggen. Linksboven een cartouche met een tekst in het Latijn.

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.
