A 1591 Roman printed account by Baldo Catani of the funeral procession and transfer of Pope Sixtus V's remains, commissioned by Cardinal Montalto and issued from the Vatican press for a learned and ecclesiastical readership. The plates are engraved full-page statues of allegorical female figures on plinths, drawn in fine parallel hatching with draped robes, crowns, and attributes such as a sphere, sceptre, and sword, offering a designer models of classical sculptural poses and emblematic iconography.
