• 21 BAROQUE ENGRAVINGS OF ARMOR (CUSTODIS-FONTANA)David
  21 BAROQUE ENGRAVINGS OF ARMOR (CUSTODIS-FONTANA)David Custodis (German, active early 17th century) after Giovanni Battista Fontana (Italian, 1524-1587), ca. early 17th century CE. Twenty one early Baroque engravings, broadsheets recognized as "the finest ancient illustrations of armor in existence" by David Custodis (active in the early 1600s), the son of Dominicus Custos (1560-1612) who was an engraver from Augsburg, Germany. These depictions first appeared in Jacob Schrenck von Notzing (1539-1614) Der Aller Durchleuchtigsten und Grossmachtigen Kayser... Koningen und Ertzhertzogen. Furststen warhafftige Bildnussen. und kurtze Beschreibungen Translated from Latin by Johann Engelbert Noyse von Campenhouten. Innsbruck: Daniel Baur, [1603].

At the bottom center, each cartouche is inscribed with the subject's name written in ink. On the verso is a full-page narration of the subject represented in Latin. This text is framed within an elaborate design surrounded by a woodcut border showing trophies of war. The subjects depicted in this collection include Carolus Borbonius (plate 22), Philippus Landtgravius Hafsia (plate 25), Gulielmus Julia, Clivia, & Montium Dux (plate 26), Annas Momorancius (plate 28), Robertus Sanfeverinus (plate 32), Maximilianus Archidux Austria (plate 47), Nicolaus Radzivil (plate 49), Camillus Urfinus (plate 58), Aliprandus Madrutius Baro Brentoni e Avi (plate 60), Johannes Ranzovius (plate 66), Augustus Barbadicus Venetus (plate 67), Jacobus Superantius Venetus (plate 69), Cornelius Bentivolius (plate 70), Alcanius Corneus (plate 71), Lazarus Schuendius Baro a HohenLandsperg (plate 74), Johannes Ferenberger ab Avv.

David Custodis (active in early 1600s) was the son of Dominicus Custos (1560-1612). His father was the son of Pieter Balten as well as an engraver and draftsman from Antwerp who settled in Augsburg and became the second husband of Bartholomeus Killian's widow (1548-1588). Among Custos' claims to fame, he worked for the Emperor Rudolphe II in Prague. Hence, Custodis' familial roots go back to the Antwerp School where Mannerism blossomed. Giovanni Battista Fontana was an Italian artist, a painter as well as an engraver, who studied masters such as Veronese and Titian. Born near Verona, he settled in Innsbruck in 1573. Court painter to Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria, he created many frescoes for Hofkirche the Spheristerion (1573) and the Slberne Kapelle (1576), and a castle chamber (1578). In addition, he created the ceiling fresco with a theme of allegories for the zodiac, elements, and planets for the dining hall of Schloss Ambras. A complete 1st edition of this manuscript sold at Christie's, New York for $10,000 (June 19, 2013, lot 693). According to the Christie's cataloguer, these impressive engraved plates depict "a remarkable collection of armor, belonging to military leaders, collected by the Archduke Ferdinand of Tyrol at Castle Ambrass near Innsbruck. The collection was transferred to Vienna in 1796 and placed in the Belvedere in 1806. Today the collection is part of the Museum of Art History in Vienna, which exhibits parts of the collection again at Castle Ambrass."
