A striking pair of antique architectural engravings illustrating two of the classical column orders: Ionic (“Ionico”) and Corinthian (“Corintio”).
These finely detailed plates were produced using traditional copperplate engraving and were originally published in architectural treatises used by builders and architects to study the proportions of classical architecture. Each engraving illustrates columned arches and architectural elements including the architrave, frieze, cornice, and column capitals, accompanied by Italian explanatory text describing the mathematical proportions of the structures.
The engravings retain their crisp engraved linework and visible plate impressions characteristic of early architectural prints. Both are presented in coordinating frames with decorative marbled matting and gilt frames that complement the classical subject matter beautifully.
Elegant and timeless, these architectural studies make a wonderful decorative pair for a study, library, office, or traditional interior.
