Ornamental Band

Artist: Workshops of Gregorio de la Torre (active between 1550 and 1553) and Martín de Montesdoca (active between 1553 and 1558).
Title: Ornamental Band
Date: 1551
Medium: Woodcut printed in red and black inks. Ornamental band for the title page of Alonso de Orozco, Cronica del glorioso […] San Agustin y de los sanctos y beatos y de los doctores de su orden[.] Sevilla: Fray Gregorio de la Torre, 1551. Also punlished in the title page of the Libro Tercero of Miguel de Fuenllana, Libro de musica para vihuela intitulado Orphenica Lyra[.] . Sevilla: Martín de Montesdoca, 1554. Francisco Javier Cornejo pointed out to us that this title page was published in Seville in 1602, but without the lower ornamental band. See for example the Relación que trata de la entrada que sus Magestades del Rey Don Felipe... y Reyna hicieron en la ciudad de León[.] Sevilla: Fernando de Lara, 1602. This ornamental band must have left Seville, then, by 1602.
