Imagines Veteris Ac Novi Testamenti
An engraved Latin Bible illustration collection published in Rome in 1674, edited by Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi after designs attributed to Raphael, intended for artists and students of biblical subject matter. The plates are printed sideways in this scan, showing crowded Old and New Testament scenes with draped figures, architectural settings, and dramatic gestures, which a designer could use as reference for figure grouping, drapery folds, and staging of multi-figure narrative compositions.
