Freggi Dell'Architettura,
EDITORS COMMENTS
published in 1645, is an exquisite and intricately detailed architectural masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Agostino Mitelli. This stunning work, a bound volume of 48 etched plates on 24 leaves, showcases two plates per leaf, presenting a total of 96 architectural wonders. The images, with their crisp lettering and elegant dedication plate, transport the viewer back in time to the 17th century. The volume, now a cherished artefact in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Mitelli's exceptional skill as an architectural draftsman. Each plate meticulously depicts various architectural features, from columns and pillars to arches and archways, with an almost photographic precision. The artist's ability to capture the essence of each structure, be it a grand palace or a simple farmhouse, is truly remarkable. The plates, etched with great care and detail, are a visual feast for anyone interested in the history of architecture. They offer a glimpse into the architectural heritage of Europe during the 17th century, providing valuable insights into the artistic and cultural trends of the time. The volume's grey-toned illustrations, with their bold lines and intricate details, continue to inspire architects, artists, and scholars alike, making "Freggi Dell'Architettura" an essential addition to any art or architecture collection. This bound volume, a testament to Mitelli's artistic genius, is a reminder of the power of art to transport us through time and space, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us. The National Gallery of Art is fortunate to have this historic work in its collection, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and education for all who visit.
