Specialist Notes

Two beautiful engravings depicting perspective views of the fortified residence of Caprarola with an impressive and uncommon pentagonal shape. They were first published by Joan Blaeu and his successors in 1680 and then reprinted by the publisher Pierre Mortier & nbsp; (1661-1711), at the beginning of the century. XVIII. & Nbsp; & nbsp;
