Plate 7: Peleo et Talamone Argonauti condotti da Tetide, from The magnificent pageant on the Arno in Florence for the marriage of the Grand Duke (Le Manifique Carousel fait sur le fleuve de l'Arne a Florence, pour le mariage du grand Duc)

Here we have strange, weird and wonderful prints and paintings by Medieval and Renaissance artists. Sometimes it is difficult to explain the scene, the whole thing just seems so ridiculous, and we get a good laugh out of it.

Florentine artist Remigio Cantagallina is best known for his etchings of landscapes and religious subjects, influenced by Paul Bril. In 1612–13 he traveled to the Dutch Republic, the Southern Netherlands, and France, which he documented in detailed drawings in pen and wash of buildings, houses, and cityscapes, complete with persons engaged at work or play in the foreground.
