Description
An elevated view of a joust held on 5 March 1565 in the Belvedere courtyard of the Vatican Palace, organized to celebrate the marriage of Jacopo Annibale Altemps and Ortenzia Borromeo. Spectators watch from the theatre hemicyle, the palace balconies, and the colossal steps at the northern end of the courtyard. Fireworks erupt in the background from a loggia above the 'Nicchione'.
First published by Antonio Lafreri in Salamanca's 'Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae' in 1565, this example was published after van Schoel bought the plates from Claudio Duchetti, Lafreri's nephew and successor.
