Azioni gloriose degli uomini illustri Fiorentini, espresse co' loro ritratti nelle volte della Real galleria di Toscana

Manni, Domenico Maria, 1690-1788 · 1745 · [Florence : s.n.] · 26 pictures

Azioni gloriose degli uomini illustri Fiorentini is a 1745 Florentine publication by Domenico Maria Manni, printed in Florence for readers interested in the city's notable men and its art. Its engravings reproduce painted ceilings of the Real Galleria di Toscana, with framed central scenes surrounded by dense stucco-style scrollwork, medallions, putti and garlands. A designer could draw on the symmetrical ceiling compositions, oval and octagonal panel framing, and layered ornamental borders for decorative schemes.
