Scrollwork
The scrollwork is a form of decoration that occurs mainly in the art and architecture of Mannerism and early Baroque from around 1530 to the early 17th century. Crossed and rolled up, pushed through and multi-layered, three-dimensional-looking ribbon shapes are their characteristics, which are mainly found in decorative frames, coats of arms and cartouches . Therefore the scrollwork is also referred to as a cartridge work, corresponding structures as "scrollwork cartridges". Often the rolling mechanism occurs in combination with the fittings , in English both are summarized under "strapwork".
The scrollwork was developed around 1530 by Italian artists at the school of Fontainebleau , it was further developed in the Netherlands and distributed there through ornamental engravings by Cornelis Floris (" Floris style ") and his student Hans Vredeman de Vries , in Germany by Virgil Solis . After 1570 the scrollwork ornament was replaced by fittings and swivel work .
