Storia della scultura dal suo risorgimento in Italia sino al secolo di Napoleone : per sevire di continuazione alle opere di Winckelmann e di d'Agincourt
Cicognara's 1813 Venetian history of Italian sculpture from its revival to the Napoleonic age, written as a sequel to Winckelmann and d'Agincourt for scholars and collectors of art. The plates are fine engraved and line-drawn sheets of carved reliefs, statues and tomb monuments, including Nativity scenes, draped standing figures and a Gothic canopied tomb. A designer might take their clean outline drawing, classical drapery folds and architectural Gothic canopy framing as models for restrained, scholarly graphic layouts.
