Il Museo capitolino is a 1819 Milan catalogue of the Capitoline Museum in Rome, compiled from work by Bottari, Foggini, Winckelmann and Visconti for scholars and collectors of antiquities. Its plates are fine line engravings of Greco-Roman statues: a nude youth with a dog-like companion, a draped figure holding a grape bunch, a togate man, and a robed woman. A designer might take their clean outlines, classical drapery folds and stone-figure poses as references for sculptural drawing.
