Del Museo Capitolino Tomo ...: Contenente Immagini D'Vomini Illustri
Del Museo Capitolino is an 1741 volume of engraved portraits of illustrious men, compiled by Giovanni Gaetano Bottari and issued in Rome for readers of classical and antiquarian collections. The plates show marble busts of ancient philosophers and figures, each set in a plain rectangular frame with an Italian caption below, so a designer can draw on their stately, evenly lit classical sculpture and clean engraved line work.
