Mazzi, Vincenzo, active 1748-1790 · 1776 · [Bologna? : s.n.] · 15 pictures

Caprici di scene teatrali is a set of stage-design prints by Vincenzo Mazzi, active 1748 to 1790, published in Italy around 1776 for theatre scenery painters and designers. The pictures are etched architectural perspectives of imagined vaulted halls, staircases and arcaded courts, shown with dramatic recession and deep shadow, which a designer could use for studying perspective, theatrical space and historical architectural fantasy.
