Opere Del Conte Algarotti: Lettere Francesi
Opere del Conte Algarotti: Lettere Francesi is a 1794 Italian collection of letters by Francesco Algarotti on the fine arts, held by Heidelberg University Library. The engravings are small vignettes of classical figures, seated or posed beside urns and stone blocks, set in the text as tailpieces. A designer could take from them the restrained contour line, simple ground shadows, and the neoclassical poses of draped women and a winged cupid.
