A stunning collection of 12 full-page plates depicting the traditional protagonists of the Commedia dell'Arte, this is without a doubt illustrator and portaitist Brunelleschi's best work.

These rare plates, hand-colored in pochoir, testify to the artist's strong Florentine influences and are fine examples of his illustrative genius. By the same publishers as the Journal des Dames et des Modes.
