Ciamberlano, Luca · 1651 · 49 pictures

This is a 1651 anatomy drawing manual by Luca Ciamberlano, printed in Rome for painters, engravers, sculptors, goldsmiths and scribes. Its plates are engraved studies of individual limbs, showing legs, arms, hands and feet in hatched line from several angles on pale paper. A designer can take from them the cross-hatching technique and the way fragments are arranged on a page like a specimen sheet.
