Specialist Notes

First edition of this sought-after work of Florentine art history, copy on light blue paper. Brunet II, 1085; Graesse II, 509; Cicognara, 3387: "The very learned Proposal Lastri illustrates the 120 tables that make up this valuable work: where one of the most conspicuous carved paintings is given by each artist of that school". & Nbsp;
