Nouveau recueil de vues des plus beaux restes de Rome ancienne et des plus belles églises, places, palais et fontaines de Rome moderne

1770 · A Rome : [s.n.] · 27 pictures

A 1770 collection of engraved views published in Rome, presenting the city's ancient ruins alongside its churches, squares, palaces and fountains for an audience of collectors and travellers. The four plates show a church façade with a domed drum, a broad palace courtyard with carriages, a temple-like structure beside a ruin on a hillside, and a palazzo facade above a fountain in a piazza; their dense hatching, deep perspective and crowds of small figures suggest a model for architectural scenes, street life and layered urban compositions.
