Design for a triumphal arch
DR1990:0046
Description:
Triumphal arch flanked by two pairs of fluted Doric columns that have capitals ornamented with grotesques. The arch leads to a coffered barrel vault and grotesques covering both sides of the interior walls. The entablature is also Doric, with metopes featuring bovine skulls and alternating circular ornaments. In the attic story is a quadrilateral cartouche with a Latin inscription that reads “MVLTA RENAS CENTVR QVE NVNCCECIDERE.” On either side of the cartouche are arabesques with anthropomorphic feet and vases/urns that are also decorated with grotesque ornamentation. Above is a series of three scalloped niches. The central niche uses a highly ornamental Corinthian order below a triangular pediment.

Design for a triumphal arch
DR1990:0045
Description:
This print shows a heavily ornamented triumphal arch leading to vaulted corridor. Pairs of columns on either side of the portal have Corinthian capitals and fluted shafts sit atop non-canonical urn-like bases. The corridor that recedes into the distance has quadripartite vaults. The entablature features two male profile portrait rondels surrounded by laurel leaves. The frieze includes putti, arabesques, and grotesques. The attic story has two urns on either side of a central fronton with a Latin inscription evoking the mythical city of Troy and the date of execution, 1534. These elements are also covered in grotesques. At the top, an empty cartouche is flanked by two cornucopia and two additional vases/urns.
