Abstract

In this chapter, I will analyse the woodcuts of the Swiss artist Tobias Stimmer (1539–1584), which were direct reproductions of Paolo Giovio’s por trait collection, often regarded as one of the first “museums”.

In order to understand the cultural and ideological implications of the por- traits of the Greek schlars, they have to be compared with the representation of Greeks in fifteenth-century visual culture generally.
