Vestigi delle antichità di Roma, Tivoli, Pozzvolo et altri lvochi
A 1660 Roman print series by Ægidius Sadeler, published in Rome by Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi, recording ancient ruins of Rome, Tivoli and Pozzuoli for antiquarians and collectors of views. The engravings show ruined temple facades, broken columns, vaulted substructures and crumbling walls set in open landscape, with Latin and Italian captions beneath each plate. A designer might borrow the sketchy, hatched engraving line and the picturesque staging of classical ruins against sky and hillside.
