Titelblad: Disegni Varii c. 1655 - 1657

This anonymous title page design, likely created between 1655 and 1657, is an exquisite example of Baroque ornamentation. The image is centered on a symmetrical design, with two grotesque figures on either side of the title text, “Disegni Varii Di Polifilio ZANCARLI." The figures are intricately detailed with swirling foliage and mythical creatures, evoking a sense of both elegance and whimsy. This dynamic composition, with its interplay of light and shadow, reflects the bold and theatrical style characteristic of Baroque art.
