Titelprent met allegorische figuren en putti 1576 - 1618

This title page, created between 1576 and 1618 by Italian artist Giovanni Maggi, features an elaborate composition typical of the Mannerist period. The central figure is a crowned woman, possibly a personification of Rome, surrounded by putti and a decorative frame. The title "Ornamenti di Fabriche Antichi et Moderni Dell' Alma Citta di Roma" indicates the book’s focus: to showcase architectural ornaments from ancient and modern Rome. The image, characteristic of Renaissance architectural engravings, includes a decorative frame composed of pillars, garlands, and cartouches, with further text explaining the content of the book and the dedication to Andrea Vaccaria. The image is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
