Cacace, Giovanni Battista · 1650 · Neapoli, R. Mollus typographus excudebat · 104 pictures

A 1650 Neapolitan printed book by Giovanni Battista Cacace, published in Naples and produced for the academic celebration of the 1649 studies restoration under the viceroy Íñigo de Guevara. The four plates are engraved frames: ornate scrolled cartouches with masks, putti and fruit swags enclosing small scenes of a wooded landscape, a woman in a field of crops, enthroned figures with kneeling kings, and a heraldic shield with three apples. A designer could draw on their dense baroque strapwork, mask and cartouche vocabulary.
