Prenner, Georg Kaspar, approximately 1720-1766 · 1748 · Roma · 26 pictures

An 1748 Roman folio of engravings by Georg Kaspar Prenner after the Farnese frescoes at the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, made for Cardinal Trojano d'Acquaviva d'Aragona to record Zuccari decorations. The plates show courtly figures in stately architectural settings, with several sheets printed sideways and some showing allegorical female figures with attributes. A designer could take the crowded court scenes, classical columns and framed allegories as models for historical compositions, ornamental panels and period decorative schemes.
