52 GEORG PENCZ Of all of Durer's pupils, Pencz, who appears to have visited Italy twice, strove most German, circa 1500—1550 consistently to emulate the art of the Italian Renaissance. This design for a stained­glass Study for a Stained­Glass roundel conforms to Italianate norms with respect both to form and to content. The Window with the Coat of Arms arms in the drawing are identified by the surrounding inscription as those of Marcus of the Barons von Paar Belidorus de Casnio (alive in 1170), an ancestor of the von Paar family which Pen and brown ink and gray wash originated in Bergamo, Italy. The inscription hanging from the tree suggests the Diam. 24.7 cm (9 11/16 in.) Cat. I, no. 133; 83.GA.193 continuation of the glory of his descendants, stating: "The family trees of heroes grow greater through virtue and munificence." This is a humanist sentiment whose classical basis is underscored by the lettering in ancient Roman inscriptional capitals. Pencz has emphasized the sculpturally rounded contours of the female figure by modeling them in carefully modulated tones of gray wash. The principal Northern note in this configuration is the lively landscape vista at the lower right, with a turreted city silhouetted against a mountainous backdrop. 66 GERMAN AND SWISS SCHOOLS
