Leben der ausgezeichnetsten Maler, Bildhauer und Baumeister, von Cimabue bis zum Jahre 1567
Vasari's Lives of the most excellent painters, sculptors and architects, from Cimabue to 1567, edited in German by Förster and Schorn and published in 1847, is a Heidelberg University Library scan of an illustrated biographical series for German-reading art historians. The four pictures are oval portrait busts of bearded men in woodcut-style line engraving, with dense hatching on faces, hair and collars and a fine-lined oval frame, offering a designer a model for period portrait medallions and crosshatched shading.
