Caprices: Title Page is a 1642 by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a black-and-white decorative design framed by swirling lines. The words in the center read *"Caprice"* with French text below, including *"fait par de la Bella"* and *"Par Israël."* The border has a wavy, almost cloud-like pattern at the top. The text hints at a playful or whimsical theme, possibly tied to prints or engravings. The style looks like it was made for a book or set of images. Next, look into Baroque to see how bold, decorative art like this fit into the movement.
