Bizzarie di varie Figure / Giovanni Battista Bracelli (1624)

A fascinating set of images by Giovanni Battista Bracelli’s Bizzarie di varie Figure. They are, in some ways, much more modern than the 1624 production date suggests and good number of them would fit nicely in with the various art movements of the early to mid 20^th Century. Some also remind me of the creations that used to fill York’s Museum of Automata.
