Andreini, Giovanni Battista, b. 1578, Procaccino, Carlo Antonio, 1555?-1605?, Bassano, Cesare, 1584-1648 · 1617 · [Milan] : Ad instanza di Geronimo Bordoni, libraro in Milano · 55 pictures

L'Adamo is a 1617 Milan sacred drama by Giovanni Battista Andreini, published for Geronimo Bordoni and illustrated by Carlo Antonio Procaccino's circle, a religious stage text on Adam and Eve. The small black-and-white engravings show horned, hoofed devils with tridents and winged figures on clouds, arranged as crowded staged scenes with a flat ground line and simple landscape backdrops, useful for designers studying early baroque grotesque figures and compositional framing.
