Antiquitates etruscae
Antiquitates etruscae is a 1770 Nuremberg publication by Antonio Francesco Gori, with Nicolaus Schwebel and Georg Lichtensteger, presenting Etruscan antiquities to art-minded readers and collectors. The pages are engraved plates of small standing statues, round mirrors with relief decoration, and friezes of figures in procession and combat, drawn in pale grey tones. A designer might borrow the flowing draped figures, the circular medallion framing and the repeating frieze bands as classical ornament sources.
