Traces the history of print portraits in the 16th c., demonstrating that over decades the same source portrait could be readapted and reused in many situations and by different artists. Considers the links between portrait prints of figures such as Martin Luther and Erasmus and the Reformation, and also studies the development, largely in the second half of the century, of portrait series (usually of popes, emperors, or kings), which parallel and often illustrate the literary genre of vitae. Among the artists and illustrators discussed are Onofrio Panvinio, Sebastian Münster, and Heinrich Pantaleon.
