Storia della pittura italiana esposta coi monumenti
Rosini's 1848 Pisa history of Italian painting, written by Giovanni Rosini and published by Niccolò Capurro, surveys Italian painters through engraved reproductions of their works for art students and connoisseurs. The plates are fine outline engravings of religious and mythological scenes, with crowded figure groups, drapery folds, and angels in clouds under arched frames, useful to a designer for classical compositional structure, figure grouping, and line-based linework.
