Jacopo Ligozzi: The Drawing Gallery Series (5 Continents)

Jacopo Ligozzi (1547-1627) was a versatile draughtsman, held in high esteem in his day. Versed in technique, imaginative and discerning in graphic transposition, so attentive to detail that he defined himself a miniaturist, Ligozzi considered drawing an art complete in itself, equal in importance to painting. This book includes the collection of the Cabinet des Dessins which documents many of the artist's interests.
