Opera Selectiora Qvae Titianvs Vecellivs Cadvbriensis Et Pavlvs Calliari Veronensis Inventarvnt Ac Pinxervnt
This 1682 print collection, Opera Selectiora, reproduces engravings after paintings by Titian and Paolo Veronese, gathered and arranged by the engraver Valentin Lefebvre and the editor Jacob Campen for connoisseurs and collectors. Its plates are etchings and engravings of mythological, religious and pastoral scenes, with framed inscriptions naming each source painting. A designer can take from them the crisp hatching, layered tonal shading and dense foliage of seventeenth-century reproductive printmaking, and the classical compositions of figures set against landscape.
