SNAKES TOTE BAG

Tote bag produced using only renewable energy sources, personalized with fighting horned cerastis designed around 1577 by Jacopo Ligozzi.

Jacopo Ligozzi produced an extremely diverse body of work over the course of his lifetime, but he is best known for the botanical and zoological illustrations he made for Francesco I de’ Medici between 1577 and 1587. The period in which he worked coincided with both the rise of still life as a genre in Europe and an increasing emphasis on the role of images in science. Ligozzi’s work was prized by his patron, Francesco I de’ Medici, and was sought out by Bolognese naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi.
