Storia dell'arte col mezzo dei monumenti dalla sua decadenza nel IV secolo fino al suo risorgimento nel XVI
An Italian edition of Seroux d'Agincourt's 1825 survey of art history, printed in Milan by R. Fanfani, tracing architecture, painting and sculpture through monuments from the fourth century to the sixteenth. The plates are engraved line drawings of medieval and early Renaissance frescoes, mosaics, sculptured reliefs and manuscript-style scenes, arranged in grids of numbered panels. A designer could draw on their clean outline work, the repeated figure compositions in framed registers, and the ornamented arched borders.
