Architetture e prospettive is a 1740 folio of baroque architectural designs by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena, published in Augsburg under Andrea Pfeffel and dedicated to Emperor Charles VI. The plates show elaborate altars, catafalques and theatre perspectives in engraved line. A designer could take from them the tiered, scrolled and columned structures typical of high baroque ornament, with dense stacked detail rendered in fine hatching.
