Veduta tratta dall'edizione del 1678 della celebre Sciagraphia Cosmica nota anche con il titolo Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt... stampata a Norinberga. La Sciagraphia Cosmica, venne ampliata sotto la supervisione di Kieser dopo la morte di Meisner nel 1625, arrivando quindi ad una composizione di 800 magnifiche incisioni. Ogni opera è caratterizzata da un motto sopra l'immagine, e da versi emblematici (in latino o tedesco). L'opera è la combinazione di due generi allora popolari, il libro degli stemmi e il "Teatro delle città". Tra i maestri incisori e miniatori che contribuirono a questa serie ci sono Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer e forse anche Meisner stesso, che concepì l'opera e contribuì a buona parte della prosa. Incisione in rame, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. View taken from the 1678 edition of the famous Sciagraphia Cosmica also known with the full title Sciagraphia Cosmica: Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt... printed in Nuremberg. The Sciagraphia Cosmica, was expanded under the supervision of Kieser after the death of Meisner in 1625, thus arriving at a composition of 800 magnificent engravings. Each engraving is characterized by a motto above the image, and by emblematic verses (in Latin or German). The work is a combination of two then-popular genres, the book of coats of arms and the "Town Book". Among the master engravers and illuminators who contributed to this series are Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer, and perhaps Meisner himself, who conceived the work and contributed much of the prose. Copperplate engraving, with margins, in perfect condition. Cremonini pagg. 57/58, 45a.

2 lingua: italiano Opera in due volumi, legat. edit. in tela con sovrac. illustrata e cofanetto edit. rigido illustrato, cm 30x22, pag. complessive 508, con numerosissime tavole e illustraz. a colori e illustr. in b.n. - Volume 1: Il Palazzo Ducale di Gubbio e il restauro del suo studiolo, di Olga Raggio - Volume 2: Le tarsie rinascimentali e il restauro dello studiolo di Gubbio, di Antoine M. Wilmering - A cura di Giordana Benazzi - La pubblicazione è una presentazione approfondita dello studiolo di Gubbio, il capolavoro di arte lignea rinascimentale italiana che è stato rimontato al Metropolitan Museum of Art nel 1996. Questo piccolo studio privato è prezioso non soltanto per la bellezza delle sue tarsie prospettiche, che rappresentano una straordinaria realizzazione illusionistica, ma anche per i suoi importanti collegamenti storici. I suoi pannelli intarsiati, commissionati da Federico da Montefeltro, uno dei più potenti condottieri italiani del XV secolo, mostrano un assortimento stupefacente di pezzi dell'armatura del duca e stemmi che alludono al suo valore militare e al suo abile e saggio governo, unitamente a strumenti musicali e scientifici e a libri, che ne attestano l'amore per la cultura. Questa vera e propria miniera di tesori umanistici, riposti su scansie dietro porte a grata semiaperte, è resa con mirabile padronanza delle leggi della prospettiva. Gli oggetti raffigurati e le ombre che danno loro volume sono composti da migliaia di frammenti e schegge di diverse varietà di legni, ognuno dei quali è inserito al suo posto con precisione straordinaria. - Perfetto stato di conservazione.
