at the Imperial Court
Budapest can be linked immediately to Strada’s documentary festival drawings
in Vienna. They represent a knight or prince in a richly dressed costume ‘alla
Romana’, wearing a high, plumed hat or turban, carrying a jousting lance and
riding a richly caparisoned rearing horse; and a similar—though not exactly
identical—figure on foot, of indeterminate gender: it might either be a young
man or a goddess or Amazon.93 Though seen from a different angle, the horse’s
trappings are identical to that of a rearing horse (without rider) among the
Vienna drawings and, as Kárpáti points out, technique and style of the draught-
smanship are very close: comparison with other Strada material, such as his
numismatic drawings, demonstrates their common origin in his workshop. But
the Budapest drawings, one of which is drawn on two pieces of paper pasted
together, are of much higher quality, more spontaneous: in contrast to the
Vienna drawings they are closer to the original sketches: possibly they are
the original designs intended to be submitted to the patron’s approval and for
the subsequent execution of the costumes. A cursory comparison of the pho-
tograph with Strada’s earlier title pages and numismatic drawings strongly sug-
gests that it is autograph—if so, it is a precious help in better characterizing
Strada as a draughtsman, as well as a welcome confirmation of his role in the
Vienna court festivals.94
93 Budapest, Szépművészeti Múzeum, inv. nrs. 1312 and 1313; Kárpáti 2012. The costume in
inv.nr. 1313 is richly set with huge gems, probably cut in glass or rock-crystal, reflecting
Pighius’s description (Pighius 1585, p. 185). Both inventions are also included in the Dres-
den albums (Ca 93, fol. 53; Ca 94, fols. 8, 12 and 22).
94 In addition a drawing for a horse’s caparison from the collection of Cassiano dal Pozzo
(London, British Museum, Franks ii, fol. 117, no. 505) has plausibly been associated to
Figure 4.35 Workshop of Jacopo Strada, documentary drawing of the design for a
richly caparisoned horse, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek,
Cod. min. 21, 3, fol. 45.
Figures 4.36–4.37 Jacopo Strada, costume designs for two participants in a court festival,
Budapest, Szépművészeti Múzeum.
