Architetture, e prospettive ...
Architetture e prospettive is a set of engraved architectural plates by Giuseppe Bibiena, published by Basan in 1740, probably for architects, stage designers and patrons of Baroque theatre and church decoration. The plates show elaborate scenic and ecclesiastical structures with tiered columns, domes, grand staircases and sculpted figures, with strong one-point perspective and dense crosshatched shading that a designer could draw on for ornamental framing and stage-set compositions.
