Iconologia deorum, oder Abbildung der götter : welche von den alten verehret Worden ... samt dero eigentlicher Beschreibung und Erklärung der heidnischen Tempel-ceremonien, auch Vorbildung der thiere und anderer Sachen ...
A 1680 Nuremberg illustrated survey of classical gods, published by Joachim von Sandrart with engravings by Georg Christoph Eimmart and Susanna Maria von Sandrart, for an audience of artists and collectors interested in antique mythology. The engraved plates show gods in dramatic scenes, sacrifices, and classical sculptural groupings rendered in fine line. A designer could draw on their dynamic poses, flowing drapery, and cloud-borne figures as reference for mythological or baroque-style compositions.
