Blason
The expression originally referred to in French the painting of a coat of arms. In literature, "Blason" means a Romance verse poem in pair rhymes that was especially fashionable in the sixteenth century.
Eulogies or satires about people and things were mostly written in epigrammatic form. The subject of the blason could be war or love, but most of the time authors wanted to praise physical beauty, such as in Le Blason du beau tétin (about the female breast) by Clément Marot (around 1496–1544).
