Storia della pittura italiana esposta coi monumenti
Rosini's Storia della pittura italiana, published in Pisa by Niccolò Capurro in 1848, is a scholarly survey of Italian painting illustrated with engraved plates after old masters for students and connoisseurs. The plates are crisp black-line engravings of religious and figural compositions, with draped robes, outstretched gestures, and architectural settings a designer could borrow for classical line drawing, figure studies, or period-style illustration.
