Editorial Reviews

The documentation for the Garimberto and the Gonzaga collections consists of inventories, printed and manuscript descriptions, and a corpus of some 100 letters. This publication explores the documentation of these personal collections. More broadly, it places the men and their respective holdings in the context of their forerunners and contemporaries, and deals with the questions of art collection during the third quarter of the 16th century.
