Zusatztext '... this is an exceptionally interesting and meticulous book! whose supreme merit is to cast light on a hitherto distinctly overlooked but utterly absorbing corner of the admittedly seemingly endless artistic landscape of the Italian Renaissance.' Art Newspaper 'The major importance of the album undoubtedly lies not so much in the drawings themselves! as in the contribution that they make to our knowledge and understanding of the history of collecting. Karet devotes three chapters of her book to this issue! and while much that she writes offers a summation of a known history! she also makes some interesting and valuable new contributions to this history.'
