Ornati presi da graffiti e pitture antiche esistenti in Firenze,
disegnati ed incisi in 40 rami ...
First edition of this attractive collection of engravings made by this renowned Italian printmaker, conservator, teacher and art dealer. Lasinio (1759–1838) apparently taught engraving at the Accademia in Florence (he was appointed Accademizo del Disegno in 1794 and Professor in 1800), and he may have assisted Raphael Morghen there. Lasinio later worked at Pisa; his large-scale etchings of the frescoes in the Camposanto proved to be immensely influential on 19th-century European painters, notably the Pre-Raphaelites in England.
Tall folio (420 × 278 mm). Contemporary Italian calf-backed marbled boards, title in gilt. Engraved throughout, title and 39 plates. Extremities a little worn, title slightly browned, an excellent copy.
