Specialist Notes
Original and unique edition in French, coeval with the first Italian edition. In this work the author re-proposes the thesis he had maintained in disagreement with Mengs regarding the attribution to Scopa of a group of Medici statues depicting the myth of Niobe, denied by the artist. Cicognara 3505.
