Fine folio including early and finely executed portraits of Renaissance artists by Joachim von Sandrart. Included are portraits of: Mino da Fiesole; Giuliano da Sangallo; Domenico Puligo; Andrea da Fiesole, and Properzia de' Rossi. The latter is of particular historical significance in that Properzia de' Rossi (c. 1490 Bologna – 1530 Bologna) was a ground-breaking female Italian Renaissance sculptor, the only woman to receive a biography in Vasari's Lives of the Artists.
