Chronicle of the Hohenzollern Family
A manuscript chronicle of the Hohenzollern family, painted by Jörg Ziegler in 1572, with a series of armoured knight portraits, each standing in a classical arch between columns with heraldic shields and a Latin or German verse caption below. The pictures show tinted pen-and-ink line work with restrained gold and purple accents, useful for designers studying Renaissance heraldic layout, framing devices and dynastic portrait sequences.
