Pittoni, Battista, 1520?-, Ziletti, Francesco, -1587? · 1585 · In Venetia : Presso Francesco Ziletti · 15 pictures

A 1585 Venetian print series published by Francesco Ziletti, after designs by Battista Pittoni, presenting classical fables set among imagined ruins for an audience of artists and collectors. The etched landscapes show crumbling arches, colonnades, obelisks and tiny figures on rocky ground, giving designers a model for ruined classical settings and fantasy architecture drawn in fine parallel line.
