Picturae Etruscorum In Vasculis: Nunc primum In Unum Collectae, Explicationibus Et Dissertationibus Inlustratae: Tabulas C Continens Aere Insculptas
Picturae Etruscorum in Vasculis is a 1770 plate collection of Etruscan vase paintings, assembled and explained by Giovanni Battista Passeri for antiquarians and scholars of ancient art. Its plates are numbered engravings set in stacked horizontal bands, showing red-figure figures in tunics and cloaks against dark grounds, with a designer able to take the strong silhouettes, Greek key borders and dense friezes of ancient ceramic decoration.
