Specialist Notes
Famous treatise by Cartari on the mythology of the ancients. As expressed in the preface to the text, the novelty brought by the author is that of having studied the iconography of the gods and their multiple characteristics. This text therefore becomes fundamental for artists, painters, sculptors, but also poets and prose writers, who must, in their works, represent or describe the classical pantheon. Success in Europe was immediate and lasted for over two centuries. Cicognara 4684.
