Lairesse, Gérard de · 1784 · 22 pictures

A German-language treatise on painting by Gérard de Lairesse, printed in 1784 and held by Heidelberg University Library, written for painters and art students learning the theory and practice of the craft. Its engravings are architectural interiors, classical façades, decorative title lettering and small figure scenes with columns, urns and arcades, showing how perspective, classical ornament and blackletter display type were built up, useful for designers working on classical architectural layouts and period typography.
