Titelprent voor de prentserie 'De gruwelen van de oorlog (klein)' / 'Misere de la guerre'

description

Summary

Franse tekst in cartouche in de vorm van de muil van een beest met lange krullen. Dit is de titelprent voor een serie van zes kleine prenten met voorstellingen van diverse soorten ellende die oorlogvoering met zich meebrengt.

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.
