Bartoli, Pietro Santi, 1635-1700 · 1675 · [Romae : Typis Io. Iacob. de Rubeis] · 36 pictures

A 1675 Roman plate book by Pietro Santi Bartoli, engraved after Raphael's Vatican loggia decorations as painted by Giovanni da Udine, and published for artists and decorators studying antique and Renaissance ornament. The pictures are sepia engravings of classical figures, winged putti and paired standing women set within columns, balustrades and shallow stage-like niches. A designer could take their symmetrical framing, draped figure poses and architectural panel layouts as models for decorative schemes.
