Opere Del Conte Algarotti
This is an 18th-century Italian collected edition of Francesco Algarotti's writings on the fine arts, published in 1792 and held by Heidelberg University Library. The four engravings are small antique-style figure prints, several signed by F. Novelli after ancient gems, shown beside the printed text for art connoisseurs and students. The figures are drawn in fine hatched line on plain paper, with minimal shading and small ground patches, offering a designer a clear model for classical figure drawing, mythological staging, and engraved line work.
