1641
Not on view
This is bound copy of Antonio Cariola's 'Ritratti De' Ser.mi Principe d'Este Sig.ri di Ferrara' (Ferrara 1641). It comprises 13 etchings made by Caterino Doino after drawings by Pirro Ligorio. The prints are mistakenly given to Giuseppe Caletti by Bartsch, who also mentions a fourteenth composition with unidentified figures. The prints show paired portraits of marquises and dukes of Ferrara formerly frescoed in the courtyard of the Castello at Ferrara, providing a pictorial genealogy for the Este family. This copy opens with a title page, a Dedication to Alfonso IV d'Este (1634–1662), an Introduction that is followed by the portraits, each with a facing page of letterpress recording the biography of the family member, birth and death dates.




The portraits are as follows:

Almerico I, Marquis of Ferrara and Tedaldo of Canossa, Lord of Ferrara


Bonifacio III of Canossa and his daughter Matilda of Canossa


Guglielmo degli Adelardi and his niece Marchesella Adelardi


Azzo VIII and Aldobrandino II d’Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Azzo IX d'Este and Obizzo VI d'Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Azzo X d'Este and Francesco I d'Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Azzo XI d'Este and Rinaldo III d'Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Obizzo VII d'Este and Aldobrandino IV d’Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Niccolo II d'Este and Alberto V d'Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Niccolo III d'Este and Leonello d'Este, Marquises of Ferrara


Borso d'Este and Ercole I d'Este, Dukes of Ferrara


Alfonso I d'Este and Ercole II d'Este, Dukes of Ferrara
Alfonso II d'Este and Cesare d'Este, Dukes of Ferrara
