Delle antichità di Ercolano is a 1757 Neapolitan publication printed at the Regia stamperia in Naples, issued by Ottavio Antonio Baiardi and Pasquale Carcani to document finds from the excavations at Herculaneum. The plates show engraved reproductions of ancient wall paintings and figures from the site, with tinted and uncoloured impressions. A designer could take from them the classical figure poses, draped robes, and compositional framing of Roman decorative panels.
