Catalogue Note
PRIMA EDIZIONE. Opera caposaldo per lo studio dell’iconografia antica di Fulvio Orsini che fu antiquario e bibliotecario per i Farnese a Roma. Le incisioni sono varie e raffigurano statue, monete, busti, iscrizioni: per ognuna di esse viene indicata la collezione di appartenenza mentre i ritratti di personaggi greci e romani, divisi in categorie, sono identificati col sussidio di un'ampia varietà di materiali archeologici conservati in collezioni private e nella personale raccolta di Orsini. Le calcografie provengono dalla bottega di Lafréry mentre le xilografie dalla bottega di Pietro Deuchino.
