Radi, Bernardino, 1581-1643, Fulcaro, Sebastiano, fl. 1612-1640 · 1619 · In Roma : [s.n.] · 53 pictures

A 1619 Roman pattern book of engraved designs for tomb monuments, attributed to Bernardino Radi and Sebastiano Fulcaro, intended for sculptors, masons and patrons commissioning funerary architecture. Its four plates show symmetrical framed niches, pedimented aedicules, scrolled volutes, cartouches with blank central panels, and flaming urns, giving a designer a dense vocabulary of Baroque ornament and proportion for architectural frames and decorative borders.
