Faam en verschillende putti tonen een blad met titel 1690 - 1710

This etching by Gerrit Visscher, dating from 1690 to 1710, is a title page illustration for a book of "New Ornaments". The composition features several putti, or cherubic figures, including one holding a quill and inkwell, suggesting the artistic nature of the book's content. The winged figure at the top is likely a representation of Fame, signifying the dissemination of knowledge and artistic creativity. The title, "Het Eerste Deel Nieuwe Ornamenten," and the inscription "Gamaakt Door Gerrit Visscher," clearly denote this as a book cover. Visscher's etching exemplifies the Baroque style prevalent during this period, characterized by elaborate ornamentation and dramatic composition.
