Galeriae Farnesianae icones Romae in aedibus sereniss. ducis Parmensis

Carracci, Annibale, 1560-1609 · 1700 · [Augsburg : Johann Ulrich Krausen] · 13 pictures

A Latin folio of engraved plates reproducing the Farnese Gallery ceiling and wall decoration in Rome, after Annibale Carracci, published in Augsburg in 1700 by Johann Ulrich Krausen for the Duke of Parma. The plates show architectural frames with painted and sculpted figures in ornate panels, rendered as fine line engraving with dense hatching, giving designers a model for symmetrical Baroque ornament, cartouches and framing of figurative scenes.
