Provenance: from the library of H.R.H. The Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester KG, KT, KP, his sale Christie's, London 27th January 2006; from the Collection of Prince and Princess Henry De la Tour d'Auvergne Lauraguais, their sale Sotheby's London, 3rd May, 2012, lot 322 This suite of magnificent plates reproduce one of the outstanding works of Giulio Romano, a favourite pupil of Raphael, his stylistic deviations from high Renaissance classicism helped to define the 16th-century Mannerist style. Contemporary engravings of Giulio's drawings were a significant contribution to the spread of 16th-century Italian style throughout Europe. Guilio's fresco of the entrée of Emperor Sigismund into Mantua in 1432 can still be seen as a stucco frieze that wraps around the Sala degli Stucchi (Room of the Stuccos) in the famous Palazzo del Te, Giulio's acknowledged masterwork, constructed between 1524-1534 for Federico II Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua. The frieze, and Stella's engravings narrate a crucial event in Mantua's history: in 1433, Holy Roman Emperor Sigismond visited the city and bestowed the title of marquis on Gianfrancesco I Gonzaga. The frieze aggrandizes Sigismond's visit by portraying him at the center of a Roman adventus, or triumphal entrance into a city. Sigismond, dressed in the armor of Rome, enters Mantua flanked by soldiers, musicians, river gods, sacrificial animals, slaves, and spoils of war. The celebrated write Vasari in his "Le Vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori da Cimabue insino a' tempi nostril" writes of his meeting with Guilio "On meeting, they recognised each other as though they had met a thousand times before. Giulio was so delighted that he spent four days in showing Vasari all his works, especially the plans of ancient buildings at Rome, Naples, Pozzuolo, Campagna, and all the other principal antiquities designed partly by him and partly by others. Then, opening a great cupboard, he showed him plans of all the buildings erected from his designs in Mantua, Rome and all Lombardy, so beautiful that I do not believe that more original, fanciful or convenient buildings exist". Antoinette Bauzonnet, called Stella after her more famous uncle Jacques Stella, was one of a number of artistically gifted siblings based in Lyon, in the second half of the 17th century.
