Architecture
Italian term or phrase: ovati
"La volta a botte e le lunette del piccolo ambiente sono state decorate a stucco e a fresco... Nel pannello centrale è dipinta la dea Venere. Ai suoi lati si vedono altrettanti **ovati** in cui sono dipinti amorini che scagliano saette e scene di lotta fra tritoni e lamie. "
J'ai trouvé: en français: "ouvertures ovales pratiquées dans le treillis végétal de la voûte" mais je n'en suis pas sûre, merci

Oui Ornella, mais je crois qu'en français, nous n'avons qu'un seul terme, que le cartouche soit rond ou ovale : http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/medaillon/
D'où ma proposition.

Asker: Merci, j'ai déjà utilisé "médaillon" dans ce texte, pour traduire "tondi": "Nei due tondi al centro delle lunette sono dipinte la Giustizia e la Fortezza"
