Palazzo della Villa Borghese

$2,500.00

Ferrerio (Pietro & Falda, Giovanni Battista). Palazzi di Roma dei più celebri architetti disegnati da Pietro Ferrerio. Giovanni Battista Falda, Rome, Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi, 1680. One of the most important and extensive series of engravings of Renaissance buildings in Rome.

These copperplate engravings were produced to provide systematic, measured and uniformly scaled illustrations of Roman palaces built in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. By focusing exclusively on the palace, the engravings became a compendium of exempla, not only illustrating the houses of a very special city, but also establishing the typology of the residential palace. Ferrerio’s collection of palace façades and plans provided an important model for what became a distinct type of publication. The folios from which these come were trendsetting books on Roman palaces and is divided into two parts. Ferrerio was the author of most of the illustrations in the first part, except for one sheet engraved by Giovanni Battista Falda, who was also responsible for the second part. While Falda’s work and successful career as an engraver associated with the Roman publisher, Giovanni Giacomo de’ Rossi, have been amply documented, much less is known about Ferrerio, who seems to have practiced as an architect and engraver. It appears that his principal claim to recognition is this album of palace illustrations.

Copperplate engravings from 1640-1680.

13 ½” x 18 ½”
