Frontispiece 1764 - 1800

This is the frontispiece to the "Vari Capricci e Paesi" collection of etchings by Italian artist Giovanni De Pian. It was created between 1764 and 1800 and features an ornate frame of flowers and foliage, enclosing a title page in Italian, with the details of the work's publication. This decorative design highlights the elegant aesthetic of the Rococo style, popular in Europe during this period. The text describes the work as a collection of landscape drawings, etched by Gaetano Zompini. The artwork is a testament to the collaboration between artists during this era, showcasing De Pian's skill as a designer and Zompini's talent as a printmaker.
