Raccolta di lettere sulla pittura, scultura, ed architettura scritte da' più celebri professori che in dette art fiorirono dal secolo XV. al XVII
Raccolta di lettere sulla pittura, scultura ed architettura is an 1754 Roman collection of letters by Italian artists and critics from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, compiled by Giovanni Gaetano Bottari and printed for art readers. Its pictures are small engraved headpieces and initials: a swag ornament with paired swans, a scrolled cartouche with a female mask and flowers, a seated Roma figure beside the Colosseum captioned In Roma MDCCLIX, and a historiated letter N with a crouching lion. They suggest compact classical ornament, strapwork, and grotesque lettering for period-styled borders.
