About this title

Synopsis

A highly and colorfully illustrated companion to an exhibit showing at the Museum from October 1998 to January 1999. Focusing on the output of the most innovative and celebrated armorer of Milan, explores the new fashion of armor design that emerged in the second quarter of the 16th century and was based on the forms and ornament found in classical art. Describes all the pieces signed by Negroli, identifies lost works, and attributes additional works to him. Includes armor by other members of his family and pieces that demonstrate his influence. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
