Monumenta Fredensburgica iussu Friderici V. erecta

1769 · [Copenhagen? : s.n.] · 30 pictures

Monumenta Fredensburgica is a 1769 engraved album of garden monuments and sculpture commissioned by King Frederik V for the royal gardens at Fredensborg, Denmark, and published in Copenhagen. Its plates show a designer how to render carved pedestals, urns, and balustraded terraces set among dense trees: engraved hatching builds up stone surfaces and foliage, and the plain architectural frames give clean compositional models.
