Series of 44 Engravings depicting the portraits of the most illustrious figures of ancient Tuscany, perfect for enhancing a large wall with the historical elegance of a period portrait gallery.
Each portrait presents the subject in a solemn pose, adorned with garments, headpieces, and hairstyles distinctive to their time and rank.
This collection is part of the renowned series "Portraits of Illustrious Tuscan Men with Historical Praises", one of the most monumental works produced by the Florentine printing press in the 18th century.
Dedicated to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Pietro Leopoldo, the collection comprises meticulously engraved portraits by Francesco Allegrini, created between 1766 and 1773.
Most of the pieces retain their original frames in matte black lacquered wood, and many still feature the original glass, with the characteristic waves and striations from hand-blown glass, enhancing their authentic charm and antique allure.
