TEXT IN ITALIAN. This scholarly monograph is an expanded version of the catalogue of the Giulio Romano exhibition at Mantova (Mantua), Italy in 1989. This volume provides, for the first time, a full and thorough account of Guilio's art and architecture. Giulio Romano (c.1499-1546) "was an Italian painter and architect. A prominent pupil of Raphael, his stylistic deviations from high Renaissance classicism help define the 16th-century style known as Mannerism. Giulio's drawings have long been treasured by collectors; contemporary prints of them engraved by Marcantonio Raimondi were a significant contribution to the spread of 16th-century Italian style throughout Europe." -Wikipedia.
