Architetture, e Prospettive: Dedicate Alla Maestà Di Carlo Sesto Imperador De' Romani
Architetture e Prospettive is a 1740 architectural treatise by Giuseppe Bibiena, dedicated to Emperor Charles VI and issued in Italian for architects, designers and patrons of theatre and church interiors. The plates are engravings of elaborate stage-like architectural perspectives, altars, staircases and ornamented ceilings, and a designer could take from them the dramatic receding vanishing-point compositions, layered colonnades and dense Baroque scrollwork that suit ornate frame or set designs.
