This engraving by Carlo Cesio, created between 1658 and 1664, is the title page for a collection of prints depicting the ceiling frescoes by Pietro da Cortona in the Palazzo Pamphili, Rome. The print features a decorative design with the coat of arms of the Pamphili family at the top, flanked by two winged figures, one of whom is Aeneas. The text below the coat of arms clearly states the purpose of the prints, showcasing the artistry of Pietro da Cortona. Cesio's engraving beautifully captures the grandeur of Cortona's work, making the title page a perfect introduction to the collection and highlighting the collaboration between these two renowned artists.
