Description
Raro e interessante albero genealogico dei Savoia, affiancato da carta geografica della regione Pedemontana. Impressa ad Augsburg nel 1612 da Antonio Albizzi (1547 - 1626), presso lo stampatore Heyden e inserita nell’opera Principum Christianorum Stemmata.
In alto al centro titoli entro cartiglio con piccoli ritratti laterali. Ricche decorazioni e due ritratti sorretti da rami in fiore. In basso a sinistra entro cartiglio contornato da decorazioni floreali dettagliata carta geografica del Piemonte e della Liguria. In basso a destra ricco cartiglio sormontato da corona reale, armi elmi, armature, contenente titoli, sullo sfondo paesaggio agreste. Ottimo stato di conservazione della carta e dell’impressione.
Pubblicata per la prima volta ad Augsburg nel 1612, questa è l'opera più celebre dell'autore. Le incisioni, molto elaborate e decorative, mostrano gli alberi genealogici delle case reali e nobili d'Europa con ritratti e stemmi sullo sfondo di panorami di città tratti dalle Civitates Orbis Terrarum di Braun & Hogenberg. Le incisioni sono firmate da Domenico Custos.

The Italian jurist and genealogist Albizzi was born in Florence in 1547. Little is known of his life.
In 1576 he was in the service of Cardinal-Archduke Andreas of Austria. In 1585 he converted to Lutheranism. From 1608 on he spent the rest of his life in the Protestant Imperial City of Kempten (Bavaria), where he died in 1626.
His most famous work was Principum Christianorum Stemmata [first published in Augsburg 1612] which appeared in several Latin and German editions. It is an unusual collection of engravings showing the family trees of the leading royal and noble houses of Europe of the time, also including the genealogy of the Turkish Emperors. The depictions are beautifully decorated by floral elements, coats of arms, portraits and at the bottom with views of residence towns after Braun / Hogenberg or small maps of the residences.
