Li bassirilievi antichi di Roma

Zoega, Georg, 1755-1809 · 1808 · In Roma : Presso Francesco Bourlié · 36 pictures

Li bassirilievi antichi di Roma is a 1808 Roman publication by Georg Zoega, printed in Rome by Francesco Bourlié, presenting ancient relief sculptures from Roman collections for scholars and collectors of antiquities. The plates show classical reliefs in line engraving: a crowded battle frieze with fallen warriors, a seated group of figures before a column or altar, a reclining man beside a draped figure, and a scene with a winged figure above a vessel and an arcaded wall. Their stark outlines and frieze compositions suggest figure groupings, drapery folds and architectural framing for classical-style graphics.
