Leben der ausgezeichnetsten Maler, Bildhauer und Baumeister, von Cimabue bis zum Jahre 1567
A German edition of Giorgio Vasari's lives of the most celebrated painters, sculptors and architects from Cimabue to 1567, edited by Ludwig Schorn and Ernst Förster and published in 1837. The pictures are small oval woodcut-style portrait busts of artists, each set in a double-ruled oval frame with hatched shading. A designer could take from them the compact oval medallion format, with its tight hatching and figures in period caps and collars.
