Delle antichità di Ercolano
Delle antichità di Ercolano is an 1757 Neapolitan folio publication from the Regia stamperia in Naples, produced by Ottavio Antonio Baiardi and Pasquale Carcani to record antiquities excavated at Herculaneum for scholars and collectors. Its engraved plates show Roman wall paintings of figures in interiors, groups of seated and standing people, and small objects such as palm-tree candelabra scenes. A designer could take classical figure poses, drapery, and neoclassical architectural framing from these plates.
