Giovan Battista Falda
Falda Giovanni Battista and De Rossi Giovanni Giacomo Plan of Villa Farnesina

About the Item

A very interesting and important Engraving, framed between two glasses and two colors natural and gilded wood frame of the Plan of the palace of Caprarola that inspired the American architect George Bergstrom in the building of the Pentagon at Washington D.C. Falda Giovanni Battista Engraver, (1643 - 1678) and De Rossi Giovanni Giacomo publisher (1627-1691) “Plan of the Palace of Caprarola” work part of the series “Palaces of Rome of the most famous architects”, etching on paper, 51x36 cm, published in Rome by Calcografia Camerale (1738/ 1870) Bibliography: - Nagler G.K., Neues Allgemeines Kunster-Lexikon, V. 4 p. 236, 1835-52 - Thieme U. - Becker F., Allgemeines Lexikon Der Bildenden Kunstler, V. 11 p. 227, 1907-50 The Villa Farnese, also known as Villa Caprarola, is a pentagonal mansion in the town of Caprarola in the province of Viterbo, Northern Lazio, Italy, approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) north-west of Rome, originally commissioned and owned by the House of Farnese. In 1504, Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, the future Pope Paul III, acquired the estate at Caprarola. He had designs made for a fortified castle or rocca by the architects Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Baldassare Peruzzi. The villa is one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture. Ornament is used sparingly to achieve proportion and harmony. Thus while the villa dominates the surroundings, its severe design also complements the site. This particular style, known today as Mannerism, was a reaction to the earlier High Renaissance designs of twenty years earlier.

General Dynamics, Exploring the Universe, Sub-Atomic Worlds – Original Poster
By Erik Nitsche
Located in Zurich, CH
A poster belonging to Erik Nitsche's second series for General Dynamics, promoting its nuclear research. Founded 1952, General Dynamics hired Nitsche as Art Director – a Swiss (1908 – 1998) educated at the Collège Classique in his birth town Lausanne and at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich. 1934 he emigrated to the United States and became an incredibly versatile graphic designer whose work became exemplary modernist. General Dynamics for its part focused on – amongst others – aerodynamics, aerospace, electronics and nuclear power. So here the company had a problem: Only a few years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki it wasn’t exactly the simplest thing to explore nuclear energy and not to be suspected of developing weapons of mass destruction. The International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy 1955 in Geneva was a great opportunity to be seen as a provider of peaceful technology. The guys in charge chose Erik Nitsche to communicate this message. He created four poster series. Atoms for Peace was the first consisting of eleven posters. The second was made for the Conference 1958; these posters are titled Exploring the Universe and represent different aspects of technological research. The third series promoted General Dynamics’ departments. The last series of six smaller posters...
