Leone Leoni, sculpteur de Charles-Quint, et Pompeo Leoni, sculpteur de Philippe II
A French monograph by Eugène Plon, published in Paris in 1887, studying the sculptors Leone Leoni and his son Pompeo Leoni, who worked for Emperor Charles V and King Philip II. The pictures are reproductions of their Renaissance bronze and marble portraits, shown as photographs and line engravings of busts, armoured statues and relief medallions. A designer could draw on their sculpted armour, stiff classical poses and bearded court faces as references for period portraiture.
