BALDESAR CASTIGLIONE

COUNT OF NOVILLARA

1478 -1529

Reduced from Braun's photograph (no. 11.505) of the portrait in the Louvre, painted in 1516 by Raphael (1483-1520). The original belonged to Charles I of England, after whose death it was bought by a Dutch collector and copied by Rubens. Later it became the property of Cardinal Mazarin, from whose heirs it was acquired for Louis XIV of France. The medallion on the title-page is from a photograph, specially made by Mansell, of a cast, kindly furnished by T. Whitcombe Greene, Esq., of an anonymous medal in his collection at Chandler's Ford, Hampshire. See the late Alfred Armand's Les Médailleurs Italiens, ii, 100, no. 10.
