Fac-simile eseguito in eliotipia : raccolta di 120 principali disegni originali di Michelangelo, Raffaello, Leonardo da Vinci, Tiziano, e d'altri celebri artisti esistenti nella R. Accademia di belle arti in Venezia
A collection of 120 facsimile photomechanical prints (eliotype) of drawings by Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian and other masters, issued in Venice in 1876 by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and published by F. Ongania. The plates show pen and ink sketches with brown wash on tinted paper, including studies of figures in motion, heads in profile, and a nude beside a seated man. A designer might take from them the loose figure gesture and hatched shading of Renaissance preparatory drawing, reproduced with soft tonal grain.
