Musée Pie-Clémentin
Musée Pie-Clémentin is a scholarly catalogue of ancient sculpture from the Vatican's Museo Pio-Clementino, written by the antiquarian Ennio Quirino Visconti and published in Milan in 1818 for classical scholars and collectors. Its plates are precise outline engravings of Greco-Roman reliefs and statues, with figures, friezes and labelled Italian captions. A designer could draw on their clean contour line, friezes of processing figures, and frieze compositions arranged in horizontal bands.
