Manfredo Settala’s Cabinet of Art and Curiosities in Milan, Cesare Fiori, c. 1666
etching, h 197mm × w 453mm More details
In the space depicted here, every centimetre is used for the presentation of a wide variety of objects. Distinguished visitors of this 17th-century cabinet of art and curiosities must have been awed; it was like walking through an encyclopaedia. Fiori made the print to illustrate a book about the private collection of the Milanese clergyman Manfredo Settala.
