Del Carretto, Galeotto, -1531 · 1524 · Stampata nella inclita cita di Venetia : Per Nicolo Zopino e Vicentio compagno · 1 picture

A 1524 Venetian comedy by the Italian poet Galeotto del Carretto, printed in Venice by Nicolò Zopino and Vicentio for a literate reading public. Its single picture is a small woodcut framed in a rectangle, showing a bearded, mitred saint seated on a throne between two columns, with the inscription 'S. NICOLAUS' across the top and a pair of letters flanking him; a designer might take from it the compact, formal arrangement of a seated figure within an architectural border.
