"The Crucifixion in a cartouche, surrounded by putti bearing symbols of the Passion" is a notable design for a frontispiece by Domenico Piola, an eminent Italian painter of the Baroque period. This artwork exemplifies Piola's mastery in integrating religious iconography with decorative elements, a characteristic feature of Baroque art. The design features a central depiction of the Crucifixion, a seminal event in Christian theology, where Jesus Christ is portrayed on the cross, a moment that symbolizes sacrifice and redemption for believers.

Enclosed within a cartouche, which is an ornamental frame often used in Baroque art and architecture, the Crucifixion scene is further embellished by the presence of putti, or cherubic figures, which were a popular element in the religious and mythological artworks of the time. These putti are not merely decorative; they bear symbols of the Passion of Christ, such as the crown of thorns, nails, and the spear, adding layers of symbolism and deepening the narrative content of the piece.

Domenico Piola (1627–1703), active in Genoa, was part of a dynasty of painters and played a significant role in the development of the Genoese Baroque style. His works are known for their dynamic compositions, elegant figures, and the emotional intensity of the subjects depicted. The design of this frontispiece is a testament to Piola's ability to convey theological themes with artistic finesse, making it a valuable piece for the study of Baroque art and its religious contexts.

The frontispiece serves not only as an artwork but also as an introduction to the text it precedes, setting the tone for the reader's engagement with the material. As such, it is both a standalone piece and a functional element of the book it accompanies. The intricate interplay of art and typography in this frontispiece by Piola highlights the importance of visual aesthetics in enhancing the impact of printed literature during the Baroque period.
