Le pitture notabili di Bergamo che sono esposte alla vista del pubblico

Pasta, Andrea, 1706-1782 · 1775 · In Bergamo : Per Francesco Locatelli · 1 picture

This 1775 guide by Andrea Pasta, printed in Bergamo by Francesco Locatelli, describes the notable paintings on public view in that Italian city, written for travellers and art visitors. The single picture is a decorative printer's ornament: a central cartouche with a small winged emblem flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves, a rose and a bell-flower spray, drawn in fine black line with dense hatching. A designer could borrow its symmetrical rococo cartouche and leaf-scroll structure for frames, labels or heraldic-style borders.
