Storia della pittura italiana esposta coi monumenti
Giovanni Rosini's Storia della pittura italiana esposta coi monumenti, issued in Pisa by Niccolò Capurro in 1848, surveys Italian painting for scholars and collectors through engraved copies after canonical works. The plates are pure outline engravings without shading: Madonnas on clouds, kneeling bishops, winged angels, and crowded altarpiece groups reduced to contour, ready for tracing, recoloring, or vector conversion.
