Codex escurialensis : ein Skizzenbuch aus der Werkstatt Domenico Ghirlandaios
Codex escurialensis is a 1905 Viennese sketchbook edited by Hermann Egger, Christian Hülsen and Adolf Michaelis, reproducing drawings from the workshop of the Florentine painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. The plates show pen and silverpoint studies of architecture, classical ruins, mounted combat and figures. A designer might take from them the loose, searching line of Renaissance drafting and the way sketched architecture frames figures.
