Galeria dipinta nel palazzo del prencipe Panfilio da Pietro Berrettini da Cortona
An engraved plate book printed in Rome in 1661 by Carlo Cesi after the ceiling frescoes of Pietro da Cortona in the Palazzo Pamphili, made for collectors and students of Baroque decoration. The plates show gods, clouds and putti set within sculpted stucco frames, cropped at the edges as on a painted ceiling, with a distinct etched line and cross-hatched shading that a designer could borrow for classical vignettes, ornamental borders and cloud-filled compositions.
