Skillfully rebacked half calf preserving contemporary blue speckled - marbled boards. Spine raised with six (6) bands; compartments elegantly gilt ornamented at borders, corners and centres and gilt lettered title on two. , Work I: Raphael (1483-1520) painted the ceilings, walls and columns of the Vatican Logge over the two-year… period before he would pass away. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. These particular images are renowned for their clarity and accessibility. Much of the subject matter on the columns is traced to Roman iconography. Such items as coins, vases, sarcophagi and various other items are done with stunning clarity and accuracy. Carlo Lasinio (1759 ? 1838) was an Italian engraver who worked chiefly in Florence. Lasinio started as a painter at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Venice. He quickly placed more emphasis on printmaking, especially after moving to Florence in 1778. He established his reputation with two large series of etchings in 1787 and 1789. Lasinio also taught engraving at the Accademia in Florence, becoming a Professor in 1800. Work II: A collection of plates from this work with no title page. The Raphael fresco decorations in the Vatican's three-storied balconies known as the 'Logge' quickly became famous, and various suites of plates were issued from the 17th century onward. However, this set was the first to attempt to show all the decoration of the pilasters and pillars. A set of the present engravings stimulated Catherine the Great to have a replica of the Logge built at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg., Size : Folio (621x478mm)., Illustrated with plates after Raphael: Work I: 14 decorative copper engraved plates; engraved title page by Giovanni Balzar; remaining by Carlo Lasinio after Raphael?s depictions of the Vatican?s loggia and columns.
