Design for a Cartouche for the "Raccolta di Cartelle Pubblicate per uso della Gioventù Studiosa" .

ca. 1797
Not on view
This design for a cartouche was made by Sebastiano Cavina, whose signature appears at bottom right. It was translated into print by Pio Panfili as part of the series "Raccolta di Cartelle Pubblicate per uso della Gioventù Studiosa". The series consists of a title page and eleven plates with cartouches meant for the education of young artists. Cavina supplied the majority of the designs, but one of them was made by Carlo Bianconi and may have formed the inspiration for the other cartouches in the series. Like other works by Bianconi, the designs are inspired by 16th- and 17th-century ornament prints from Italy and France.
