$a This publication is a new edition of a set of plates probably first published at some time in the 16th century. That edition consisted of 73 numbered plates (incl. t.pl.). Losi's edition has added two plates (an additional title-plate with his imprint, and a portrait of Michelangelo), renumbered and re-arranged all plates, and apparently reproduced only 66 of the original 73 plates. The work shows the frescoes painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512 on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican palace in Rome. These depict nine episodes in the narrative of the Biblical book of Genesis - from the creation of the world and man to the life of Noah; which are supported by images of prophets and other Biblical figures and by sybils, who refer to the salvation-history that would culminate in the advent of Christ. The plates show: 1. (new title-plate); 2. (old title-plate, 'Michael Angelus Bonarotus Pinxit Adam Sculptor Mantuanus Incidit'); 3. portrait of Michelangelo, captioned 'Michael Angelus Bonarotus Patritius Florentinus An. Agens LXXIV.'; 4-68. details of the ceiling frescoes of the Sistine Chapel (these show supporting figures only, not the nine central panels). |
