Coat of Arms of the Giustiniani Family
Cherubino Alberti (Zaccaria Mattia) Italian
Not on view
Large thesis print with the coat of arms of the Giustiniani family, most likely made for Giuseppe (died 1600) or Vincenzo Giustiniani (1564-1637). This print was catalogued by Bartsch as the "Arms of a Prelate", based on the impression in Vienna which does not contain a specific crest. Te Met's impression shows several significant changes to the plate. In addition to the addition of the Giustiniani symbols, various inscriptions have been erased and a round compartment with the inscription "NUNTIA ET OMEN" at bottom has been removed as well.
