[Scriptoris] Heraldic Symposium

[Chiara Francesca]

Yep, I got only the jpeg with no information on it except the name. I 
finally found something on it and it is spectacular! :)

Not something I can use at this time but I have documented everything I 
needed off that site and found other sites using those key words and found 
very high resolution images of the entire collection. Beautiful!

When I am in need of this art I will go find the book at the library or 
loan.

Kupferstichkabinett in the Prussian State Museum in Berlin, is dated 
1532-35. 22 images in all.

Artist?  No idea.

Time period:  judging by the clothing on the men, combined with the
taxidermy-style illumination in the box around the dragon, and some other
clues, I'd say early 16th century, between about 1520-1540.  Place is likely
Italy, although could be France, Spain, the Netherlands, or Germany.  I 
might
be able to guess better if I could view a larger, more detailed resolution 
of
this, to check the architectural background clues, not to mention that 
coronet,
better.

What information *do* you have, or were you sent a lonely jpg with no
acquisition number, context, other pages, or any other clues as to, say, 
which
museum it might be from?
