This volume contains 28 plates, uniformly bound by Tessier, Paris. For the complete set of prints in this volume see accession numbers: E.5063-5090-1908. The copper plates are in the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Rome.\n\r\nThe first series, <i>Peintures de la Villa Lante</i>, reproduces the lost frescoes by Giulio Romano in Villa Lante in Rome. These prints, executed by Tommaso Piroli, are among the few surviving records of these decorations, which were largely destroyed over time.\n\r\nThe second series, <i>Peintures de la Sala Borgia au Vatican</i>, documents the frescoes of the Sala Borgia in the Vatican, attributed to Raphael. The prints by Piroli depict allegorical representations of the planets and zodiac signs, reflecting the iconographic program of the original paintings.\r\n","physicalDescription":"Plate from a series of prints depicting Giulio Romano's wall paintings in the Villa Lante, Rome.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Romano, Giulio","id":"A5603"},"association":{"text":"after","id":"THES283471"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Piroli, Tommaso","id":"AUTH320128"},"association":{"text":"print-maker","id":"AAT25164"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Piranesi, Francesco","id":"A30837"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"AAT25574"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Piranesi, Pietro","id":"AUTH406354"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Tessier","id":"AUTH339188"},"association":{"text":"bookbinder","id":"AAT25704"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Calcographie des Piranèse Frères, Paris","id":"AUTH406361"},"association":{"text":"publishers","id":"AAT25574"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper (fiber product)","id":"AAT14109"},{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"}],"techniques":[{"text":"etching (printing process)","id":"AAT53241"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"etching, ink on paper","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[{"text":"Italian","id":"AAT111198"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2014GX8419"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"SB23","shelf":"SH3","box":"LL/24"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1803","earliest":"1803-01-01","latest":"1803-12-31"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"58.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"14/03/2017","earliest":"2017-03-14","latest":"2017-03-14"},"part":"volume","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"42.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"14/03/2017","earliest":"2017-03-14","latest":"2017-03-14"},"part":"volume","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"2.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"volume","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"The collection of volumes was previously owned by architect Decimus Burton (1800-1881) and his bookplate is pasted in the inside cover of this volume.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Print from a set of 16 plates, <i>Peintures de la Villa Lante à Rome</i>, vol.
