Opis

Tracing the provenance of the earliest known album of drawings from its assemblage in the late 1530s to its dismantling in the 1950s, this book fills a critical gap in the study of northern Italian drawings and explores the historic tradition of collecting drawings and humanist collections in northern Italy before Vasari for which the album provides a new point of reference. The study includes a reconstruction of the original album and a page-by-page guide to its contents, providing insight into an overlooked subject.
