Rich L:d Chancelor

Bartolozzi developed his style to imitate the subtleties of renaissance and baroque chalk drawings and became deservedly famous for his stipple engraving. The portraits in this collection show how effective this technique was in reproducing with such incredible fidelity Holbein's original designs. Accompanied by a biographical tract giving a brief history of this nobleman, who served in the courts of Henry VIII and Edward VI, and whose evidence was instrumental in bringing Sir Thomas More to the block.

Fine condition.
