Antiquités d'Herculanum
Antiquités d'Herculanum is a 1804 Paris publication by Tommaso Piroli and the Piranesi brothers, issued by Chez Piranesi frères and Leblanc, presenting engraved copies of classical Roman wall paintings for artists and collectors. The plates show nude and draped figures, centaurs, and small birds set in framed panels with decorative borders, drawn in fine, even outline with light shading that a designer could adapt for classical motifs, ornament, or line-based illustration.
