Tabernacoli diversi
A 1628 Roman engraved folio of tabernacle designs by Giovanni Battista Montano, published by Giovanni Battista Soria with plates by Jérôme David, made for Catholic church furnishing and clergy. The four plates show freestanding architectural tabernacles in elevation and plan, built from classical orders, pediments, domes and statuary. A designer could take their stacked columns, niched statues and domed cupolas as a clear reference for symmetrical sculptural architecture.
