"The works that form the core of the exhibition, a set of twenty-three architectural prints by the so-called 'Master G.A. with the Caltrop', disrupt the typical narrative of Renaissance architecture in both their medium and content. As single-leaf prints of architectural details, they demonstrate the existence of an architectural print culture beyond treatise illustrations or views of Rome (vedute)....As representations of highly ornamental capitals, bases, and cornices, they indicate a lively interest in non-canonical, non-Vitruvian details that survived well into the sixteenth century."--Introduction, p. 7.
