I Cinquantadue Quadretti Rappresentanti Li Piu Celebri Fatti Del Vecchio Testamento Dipinti Da Raffaele Sanzio D'Urbino Nelle Tredici Volte Delle Loggie Vaticane
An 1787 Italian engraved book by Secondo Bianchi after Raphael's Vatican Loggia frescoes, reproducing fifty-two Old Testament scenes for a learned audience of collectors and art students. The engravings are framed in ornate borders with Latin captions beneath each scene, and they show clear figure groupings, classical drapery and architectural backdrops that a designer could use as compositional references for narrative panels and decorative framing.
