Entretiens sur les vies et sur les ouvrages des plus excellens peintres anciens et modernes
André Félibien's dialogues on the lives and works of ancient and modern painters, printed in Paris in 1666 by Pierre le Petit for court readers and students of art theory. Copperplate engravings hang optical and perspective diagrams on draped curtains above landscapes with columns, domed villas and reflecting water; historiated initials set figures against dense cross-hatching.
