Recueil De Divers Monumens Anciens Repandus En Plusieurs Endroits De L'Italie
A 1770 French collection of engraved plates by Jean Barbault, gathering ancient Roman monuments found across Italy for antiquarians and students of architecture. The plates show tomb monuments with inscribed tablets, carved reliefs of shields and figures, ornamented altar or throne pieces, and scenes of ritual processions and sacrifice. A designer could draw on their classical motifs, such as wreaths, shield arrangements, and frieze-like narrative bands.
