Entretiens sur les vies et sur les ouvrages des plus excellens peintres anciens et modernes
Entretiens sur les vies et sur les ouvrages des plus excellens peintres anciens et modernes is a 1682 Paris book by André Félibien, a royal historiographer, published by Sébastien Mabre-Cramoisy for readers interested in painting and its history. Its pictures are engraved decorative initials and headpieces with allegorical figures, a perspective diagram, a classical landscape with a domed temple, and trade implements, all in fine black line that suggests ornamental framing and emblematic composition for a designer.
