Esseqvie del serenissimo don Francesco Medici, gran duca di Toscana II
A 1587 Florentine funeral description by Giovanni Battista Strozzi the Younger, printed at the Sermartelli house in Florence for mourners of Grand Duke Francesco I of Tuscany. Its pictures are engraved title pages, a full funeral catafalque elevation with stepped base and columns, and a coat of arms with putti and crown, showing ornate Renaissance architecture a designer could draw on for classical framing, cartouches and monumental structure.
