Delle antiche statue Greche e Romane is a 1740 Venetian catalogue of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures held in the Libreria di San Marco and other public places in Venice, compiled by Antonio Maria Zanetti. The plates show marble busts and standing statues engraved as outline-and-shadow drawings on plain paper, with busts of women and men in togas, drapery and armour. A designer could take from them the restrained tonal shading and the classical drapery folds, useful for period-appropriate line work and for stone-like grey rendering.
