Chapter ��596 provide models (‘padroni’) for the busts still to be made for the portrait heads acquired for the Munich Antiquarium.46 It is possible that a set of careful drawings of intact Roman portraits busts preserved among Strada’s materials in the Austrian National Library at Vienna documents these gesso sculptures—or rather the originals from which they had been cast [Fig. 12.15 and 12.16–12.17; and below, Figs. 13.74–13.77]. Recent research has revealed that several of them reproduce statues in the collection of Don Cesare Gonzaga at Mantua, which have been preserved in various locations.47 It is not clear how large the set of casts was: Strada’s elder son Paolo still could offer twenty of them for sale after his father’s death.48 They provided part of the models for a book containing a series of designs of imperial portraits based on antique sculpture, two manuscript versions of which of are preserved in the Kupferstich-Kabinett in Dresden [Fig. 12.18 and below, Figs. 13.78 and 13.79–13.81]. Ottavio Strada’s codex depicting imperial portrait busts presented 46 Stopio to Fugger, 5 October 1567 (BHStA-LA 4852, fol. 75/69): ‘Ho inteso che il Strada ha fatto gettare di gesso alcune teste in Mantua che ha il S[ign]or don Cesare Gonzaga, non so se quelle havera mandato a Vienna, o Monacho’; Stopio used this as an excuse for him- self having sent plaster casts instead of the real thing to the Duke, to which Fugger indig- nantly repplied (23 December 1567, ibid., fol. 111/104): ‘<…> et vi ingannate di larga che’l Strada habbi fatto gettare q[ue]lle cose di Mantua p[e]r l’Imperato[re] o il Duca, anzi l’ha fatto far p[er] se med[esim]o per adornamento di casa sua p[er] le porte et nichi di q[ue] lla essendo fabrichata alla italiana<…>’; Strada to Fugger, 1 March 1574 (Doc. 1574-03-01): ‘Già Vostra Signoria mi disse che sua Excellenza averia voluntieri auto le mie teste delli Imperadori et Imperatrice di gesso, le quali sonno le più belle che siano in tutto Italia, et le ò fatte formare con grande mia spesa; le quali sarianno buone per padroni per far li busti a quella di marmoro di Sua Excellenza. Se Vostra Signoria ce ne vole dire una parola sta a Lei; Gli darò ancora le pitture et medaglie, et se non vorrà li libri li terrò per me. Anche le dette teste si potranno far ancora gittar di bronzo con il tempo. Mi è stato a trovar un cittadino di Augusta, et quelle teste me ne a dimandato un inventario, con le pitture, et mi disse volerle mandare in Augusta a donare a un gentilhuomo; ma non mi volse dire il nome. O poi saputo sottomane che le voria per il Signor Giovan Fochero, et le voriano far gettar di bronzo per metter in un sala che fa fare molto suntuosissima. Io non ne farò altro insino alla rissolutione di Vostra Signoria, aspetandone però la risposta dala ordata di questa un mese’. Some of the copies were possibly made by the sculptor Giovanni Bat- tista della Porta, who was sent to Cesare Gonzaga with a letter of introduction by Strada in June 1568 (Doc. 1568-06-16). 47 Vienna, önb-hs, Cod.min. 21,3, fols. 61r–70r.; at least five of these busts have been identi- fied among the relics of Cesare Gonzaga’s collection now in Turin Racconigi and Casale Monferrato; cf. Riccomini 2014 <a> and Riccomini 2014<b>. Dr. Riccomini kindly in- formed me that further busts can be identified among the relics of Cesare Gonzaga’s col- lection preserved in Parma. 48 Doc. 1592-03-18: Hugo Blotius to Wolfgang Rumpff, Vienna, 18 March 1592: ‘Habet idem Paulus venalia viginta Caesarum antiquorum capita pectoribus ex gypso affabre factis imposita’.
