Artis sculptoriae, vulgo stuccatoriae paradigmata

Pozzi, Carlo Maria, fl. 1700-1728 · 1708 · Aug. Vindel. [Augsburg] : Ieremias Wolff excudit · 17 pictures

Artis sculptoriae, vulgo stuccatoriae paradigmata is a set of decorative plasterwork designs by Carlo Maria Pozzi, published in Augsburg in 1708 by Jeremias Wolff for stuccoists and craftsmen. Its engraved plates show corner panels of ceilings and wall friezes, with scrolling cartouches, putti, and foliage framed by moulded borders. A designer could take from them the asymmetric C-scroll and shell rhythms of early eighteenth-century German Rococo ornament, reusable as frame, border, or corner motifs.
