Of Wars with France. Italy and Saint-Quentin (I)

Abstract

Wars between Henry 2nd of France and Charles V and Philip 2nd had great graphic repercussion; Italian episodes of Parma, Siena and Naples are part of the big pictorial sets and escultoricos of the sixteenth Century, renowned artists’ works as Giorgio Vasari or the flemish Giovanni Stradano. Engravings spread the most outstanding events almost at the same time in which happened, as is the case of the fence of Mirandola, defenses of Rome represented by Lafreri, Nettuno, Ostia, Vicovaro and Civitella of the Tronto. Events are represented as corografías in which happen episodes warlike. They are reproductions belivers of military facts, authentic graphic chronicles very considered by contemporaries, some which many times will be reproduced after facts.
