Le pitture antiche d'Ercolano e contorni
Le pitture antiche d'Ercolano e contorni is a 1779 engraved plate volume of Roman wall paintings unearthed at Herculaneum and nearby sites, issued in Naples by the Royal Academy for scholars and collectors of antiquity. Its plates are sepia-toned engravings of frescoes showing figures, architecture, garden landscapes and ornamental panels, which a designer could use as reference for classical pattern, framing devices and neoclassical decorative composition.
