Cesare Vecellio

Cesare Vecellio (c. 1521 – c. 1601) was an Italian draftsman and painter of the Renaissance, active in Venice.

In addition to his work as a painter, he published several books during his lifetime, including De gli Habiti Antichi e Modérni di Diversi Parti di Mondo.

First published in Venice in 1590, it contains nearly 600 images depicting the garb of men and women of varied status from many parts of the then-known world.

[1] Cesare's brother, Fabrizio di Cadore was little known beyond his native place, for the Council-hall of which he is said to have painted a fine picture.
