Dell' arco Trajano in Benevento

Nolli, Carlo, -approximately 1770 · 1821 · [Naples? : s.n.] · 16 pictures

An 1821 Neapolitan plate book on the Arch of Trajan at Benevento, with engravings attributed to Carlo Nolli and text connected to Giovanni Camillo Rossi. Its plates record the arch's architectural mouldings and the Roman relief sculptures carved on its panels, drawn as crisp line engravings on plain paper. A designer could draw on the clean, measured linework of the architectural details and the processional figures in shallow relief for classical ornament and frieze compositions.
