Opere di Giorgio Vasari, pittore e architetto aretino
A 1822 Florentine edition of the works of Giorgio Vasari, the sixteenth-century painter and architect of Arezzo, printed by Audin for readers interested in art and architecture. The pictures are engraved portrait busts of bearded men in profile or three-quarter view, set on plain paper with light shading and fine hatched lines. A designer could take from them the restrained cross-hatched engraving style used for historical portraiture and the tonal range built from line alone.
