Carlo Antonini was a designer, copperplate engraver, and architect who flourished in the late 18th century and into the early 19th century. Active in Rome and Modena, Antonini produced two great collections of ornamental copperplate engravings. The first of which was titled Manuale di vari Ornamenti, tratti dal Fabbriche e Frammenti Antichi, per uso e commodo de’ pittori, scultori, architetti, scarpellini, stuccatori and was published in Rome in four parts between 1781-1790. The first two parts were devoted to rosettes, including 100 plates, which appeared on exterior and interior Italian Renaissance houses and palaces.
Condition: Overall the engraving is in very good condition. The paper shows some oiling and discoloration as expected with age. The platemark impression is strong and the colors vibrant.
