masques arranged by Count Giovanni Bardi and set to music by Emilio de'
Cavalieri, Peri, Luca Marenzio and Cristofano Malvezzi to celebrate the mar-
riage of Ferdinand I de' Medici and Christine of Lorraine, Florence 1589.
Drawing by Bernardo Buontalenti ( 1536-1608). The inscription reads: "This
figure is to be dressed in solid red over a gold foundation. Underneath he is to
carry a sword. The costume of this figure is to be of a large size throughout.

4. 4. Title page of Fiori poetici, an anthology of poems memorializing Monte-
verdi's funeral in 1643. The instruments flanking the portrait -- lute, lyre, the-
orbo, violin, cello, cornet, trumpet, trombone, harpsichord and portable or-
gan -- represent ten specimens of the fourteen varieties that made up Monte-
verdi's thirty-six piece orchestra.

5. 5. Monteverdi, unsigned contemporary painting, evidently the model for the
etching (see illustration 4). Until the discovery of the painting in 1937 at the
Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, the etching was thought to be the only authentic
likeness of the composer in existence.
