Trattato della pittura di Lionardo da Vinci : nuovamente date in luce, colla vita dell'istesso autore

Leonardo, da Vinci, 1452-1519 · 1733 · [Naples] : In Parigi, appresso Giacomo Langlois, stampatore ordinario del Re Cristianissimo ..., Ed in Napoli : nella stamperia di Francesco Ricciardo, a spese di Niccola, e Vincenzo Rispoli · 27 pictures

Leonardo da Vinci's Treatise on Painting, published in 1733 in Naples and Paris by Giacomo Langlois and the Rispoli brothers, is an early modern printed edition of Leonardo's notes on painting, with a life of the artist added. The four pictures are geometric diagrams of rays, lines and angles, drawn with fine engraved outlines in plain framed plates, suggesting clean schematic line work a designer could adapt for technical or diagrammatic layouts.
