Li corntorni delle pitture antiche d'Ercolano : con le spiegazioni
An 1777 Augsburg publication by engraver Georg Christoph Kilian (1709-1781), reproducing outline engravings of ancient wall paintings and bronzes excavated at Herculaneum, aimed at scholars and artists. The plates show framed mythological and genre scenes: draped women seated or standing among architectural columns, a satyr-like figure with a child, round medallions with figures, and garden landscapes with miniature pavilions. A designer could borrow the flat, linear compositions, the friezes and framed panels, and the classical poses.
