Giuglaris, Luigi, 1607-1653, Boetto, Giovenale, 1603 or 4-1678 · 1638 · In Torino : Appresso gl'Heredi di Gio. Domenico Tarino · 14 pictures

A 1638 Italian funeral book printed in Turin by the heirs of Gio. Domenico Tarino, recording the funeral of Duke Vittorio Amedeo of Savoy and commissioned by his widow and son, with text by Luigi Giuglaris and Giovenale Boetto. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut and engraved ornaments: grotesque masks flanked by swags and pendants, a central face between cornucopias with plumed headdresses, and a fold-out view of a draped and decorated church interior with statues in niches. A designer could take symmetrical cartouche structures, mask ornaments and dense baroque framing from them.
