L' Academia Todesca della architectura, scultura & pittura oder Teutsche Academie der edlen Bau-, Bild- und Mahlerey-Künste: Von der Architectura oder Bau-Kunst
Joachim von Sandrart's 1679 German academy of architecture, sculpture and painting, an engraved treatise from Nuremberg for artists and builders, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates show architectural elevations, triumphal arches, garden façades and gateways drawn in precise linework, with some views of ruined monuments and classical orders. A designer could draw on their clear proportional drawings, rusticated bases, balustrades and arch-and-column compositions for classical façade motifs.
