In morte dell'illvstre signore, il sig. Bartolomeo Concini, primo segretario del Gran Duca di Toscana : canzone
A 1577 Italian printed elegy (canzone) by Giovanni Cervoni, published in Florence by Giorgio Marescotti and written in memory of Bartolomeo Concini, secretary to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The two pictures are woodcut decorations: an oval cartouche framing a sailing ship above a lettered plinth with tassels, and a large historiated initial I with rearing horses and a centaur-like figure. A designer could draw on the bold, dense black-line woodcut hatching and the decorative framing devices.
