Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Diana (Diana Triuia in aedibus) 16th century Anonymous This print comes from the museums copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound set of prints. Instea

The Virgin Annunciate 1470-80 Anonymous, Italian, Ferrarese, 15th century Italian Facing right with her eyes closed, ready to embrace the message of the Annunciation, the Virgin Mary here stands under an arch decorated with a classical frieze. She is wrapped in a long mantle defined through flat, broad, metallic folds that have a distinctly Ferrarese character, as do her square face and broad hand. The precise use of pen and ink on parchment makes this drawing nearly comparable in sharpness to a print. The author of the sheet is still unknown but might be identified as a painter-engraver active in the late fifteenth century between the Marches and the Valpadanathe area between the cities of Milan, Padua, and Ferrara. It is likely that the figure of the Archangel Gabriel making his announcement was originally included in the composition, before it was cut down on its left side by a previous collector.The drawing was first published with an attribution to Francesco del Cossa proposed by

St. Matthias(?). Artist: Unknown After possibly: Master F. P., Italian, active 16th century

St Matthew, from the series: Christ, Paul and the Twelve Apostles, Lucas van Leyden, artist, circa 1510, Netherlands, engraving, Born in the city of Leiden, Lucas van Leyden was the first Dutch engraver to achieve wide acclaim in his lifetime. He made about 200 prints, mostly engravings, but also woodcuts and a few etchings. He met Albrecht Dürer in 1521 during the German artist's year-long visit to the Netherlands, and Dürer drew Lucas's portraits and bought a set of his prints. It is likely that van Leyden simultanously acquired some of Dürer's prints, as his influence is evident in van Lucas's work in the early 1520s.
