Supplément au livre de l'antiquitée expliquée et représentée en figures
A supplement to Bernard de Montfaucon's illustrated study of classical antiquity, published in Paris in 1757 by Giffart and drawn for scholars and collectors of Greco-Roman art. The plates are engraved architectural and sculptural details: a small shrine with a pediment, a reliefs-decorated pedestal, a triumphal arch with attached columns and standing statues, and two coins. A designer can take their precise ornamental friezes, column proportions, and classical relief figures as reference for period-style motifs.
