AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Facade of the Palazzo de Signori Visconti
Elegant prospect of the ancient residence of Prospero Visconti at Porta Ticinese still existing, the only original element of the sixteenth-century construction, with the elegant rustication of the pilasters and the doorway surmounted by the Biscione azzurro (the family coat of arms and symbol of Milan) and by the balcony of the noble floor, itself crowned by the 14 busts of the Visconti ancestors and of the Spanish sovereigns Philip II (Duke of Milan) and Philip III.
From the IV volume of the famous "Description of Milan adorned with many copper engravings of the most conspicuous factories to be found in this Metropolis, collected and ordered by Serviliano Latuada, Milanese Priest (1704-64), 5 volumes, milestones of Milanese iconography from the seventeenth to the eighteenth centuries. In Milan, MDCCXXXVII (1737-8), at the Royal-Ducal Court at the expense of Giuseppe Cairoli, Books Merchant"
Etching and engraving on laid paper without watermark, verso blank, wide margins, usual editorial folds, sporadic traces of oxidation, fine inking enhanced by the suggestive modern pastel coloring.
Size: 15 x 24.5 cm the print sheet
