Antonio Tempesta’s “Titelprent met cartouche met opdracht, geflankeerd door Minerva en Faam” is an engraving depicting an elaborate cartouche with the inscription “ILLADAD NERIO DRAGOMANNO.” The cartouche is flanked by the figures of Minerva and Fame, representing wisdom and renown. The artist’s name and date are inscribed at the bottom, indicating that the print is a dedication to the person named in the cartouche. This small but meticulously detailed engraving showcases Tempesta's mastery of linework and his ability to convey symbolism through visual imagery. The print is a prime example of the commemorative works produced in the late 16th century.
