Picturae antiquae cryptarum romanarum et sepullcri Nasonum : delineatae & expressae ad archetypa
Picturae antiquae cryptarum romanarum et sepulcri Nasonum is a 1738 Roman plate book by Giovanni Pietro Bellori, printed in Rome by the Typographia S. Michaelis ad Ripam for Girolamo Mainardi, reproducing ancient painted tomb and crypt decorations for scholars and artists. The engravings show framed panels with draped figures, putti, and architectural fictive frames, drawn in fine line with plain pale paper margins, giving designers models for classical border, panel, and ornament layouts.
