Jan Baptist Barbe - Maria met boek
Summary
Maria lezend in boek in ovale omlijsting geflankeerd door engelen met lelie en palmtak. In een cartouche staat in Latijn de tekst uit het Magnificat, een lofzang op Maria: Van nu af prijst ieder gelacht mij zalig.
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.
