The Cartellini of Renaissance paintings

Cartellino, Italian for ‘ticket’ or ‘tag’, was a popular component in Renaissance painting. Typical cartellinos were painted as small illusionistic unfolded slips of paper inscribed with either the artists signature or information about the identity of figures in the painting. Painting a cartellino allowed the artist to demonstrate significant technical skill and embed their signature in a graphic sophisticated way.
