Del Museo capitolino

Musei capitolini (Rome, Italy) · 1741 · Roma : Si vende alla Calcografia Camerale, al Piede di Marmo · 16 pictures

This is a 1741 engraved plate volume from Rome, published by the Calcografia Camerale and issued from the Capitoline Museums' collection of ancient sculpture for scholars, artists and collectors. The plates show marble busts of Roman emperors and notable figures, each engraved in fine outline on a plain page with its name printed in capitals below, offering designers a clear reference for classical portrait heads, laurel wreaths, draped togas and pedestal layouts in restrained monochrome.
