Picturae Etruscorum In Vasculis: Nunc primum In Unum Collectae, Explicationibus Et Dissertationibus Inlustratae: Tabulas C Continens Aere Insculptas
Picturae Etruscorum In Vasculis is a 1775 plate book of Etruscan painted vases, compiled by Giovanni Battista Passeri, with engraved plates and explanatory notes for antiquarians and collectors. The pictures show each vase in full profile above or below a line of figures, with the scenes drawn in outline in red and black. A designer could take from them the stark red-figure silhouette, the Greek key borders, and the classical poses of frieze-like processions.
