Li corntorni delle pitture antiche d'Ercolano : con le spiegazioni

Kilian, Georg Christoph, 1709-1781 · 1777 · In Augusta : [s.n.] · 24 pictures

Kilian's 1777 Augsburg publication presents engraved outline copies of ancient Herculaneum wall paintings, made for scholars and artists interested in classical antiquity. The plates show Roman figures in frieze-like panels with draped garments, cupids, garlands, and architectural settings, drawn in clean single-line contour that a designer could adapt for classical ornament, border motifs, or line illustration.
