Vestals 1598 Ancient Rome Vesta Italy Rare Woodcut Vecellio Venice

Description: Extremely rare wood engraving published in 1598 in Venice, Italy on the Costume of the Vestals in Rome. (Title of the Vestali engraving) This extraordinary testimony of costumes and fashion is certainly one of the first iconographic representations of Roman history, the text of the engraving indicates in the work "They were dressed in the stola..." This exceptional engraving is taken from the rare work of Vecellio Cesare published in 1598 in its second edition. On the back of the engraving there is text in Latin and Italian which does not necessarily correspond to the image. VECELLIO, Cesare (1521-1601). Habiti antichi et moderni di tutto il Mondo. Venice: Giovanni Bernardo Sessa, 1598. Second edition, largely enriched, of this major collection of the history of the costume book, a copy elegantly bound by Derome. With the great discoveries and the commercial and diplomatic links that are being woven, Europe is becoming increasingly curious about other cultures. Picturesque costume books were particularly in Vogue at the time, especially in the Venice region, where several titles appeared in the second half of the 16th century. Vecellio's collection is probably the most famous example of this production. This second edition is considerably enriched compared to the previous one, with just under a hundred additional plates.
