This detailed engraving by Sebastiano Serlio from his influential *Libro primo (-quinto, estraordinario) d'architettura* (1566) is a visual guide to architectural elements, specifically focusing on a cornice and its various components. The labeled diagrams, including details like “sotto l'arco,” demonstrate Serlio's dedication to providing clear and precise instructions for architects and designers. This work, a cornerstone of Renaissance architectural theory, became a standard reference for centuries and continues to inspire contemporary architectural study.
