[Cicognara 3376; Bartsch XXI, pp. 103–114, nos.21-64].
The superbly engraved plates by Carlo Cesio (1622 – 1682) reproduce the Palazzo Farnese frescoes that Annibale Carracci (1560 - 1609) began in 1597 and completed in 1608 just one year before his death. The frescoes were commissioned by Alessandro Farnese (1468-1549), later Pope Paul III, ostensibly in honor of his niece's nuptials and located on the 'piano nobile' of the family's palace which today hosts the French Embassy in Rome. They depict "The Loves of the Gods" and were greatly admired at the time, and were later considered to reflect a significant change in painting style away from sixteenth century Mannerism in anticipation of the development of Baroque and Classicism in Rome during the seventeenth century.
"The important cycle of frescoes, trompe-l'oeil, and architectural framework known as quadratura that make up the barrel-vaulted ceiling of the gallery depict the 'Loves of the Gods,' a sophisticated dialogue between the theme of love and allegorical subjects from antiquity." (Quoted from World Monuments Fund website).

Bibliothecæ Alexandrinæ icones symbolicæ / elogiis illustratæ, by C. Giarda
Located in Middletown, NY
DISTINGUISHED PEDIGREE: from the libraries of Robert Hoe and John Barrymore.
Elegantly illustrated and bound copy with a famed pedigree that spans from Robert Hoe—the businessman, collector, and founding member of the Grolier Club in 1884— to "The Lamberts" (probably purchased in the epic Hoe library auction of 1911-1912), who gifted it to the colorful and famous actor John Barrymore. Their bookplates adorn the inside covers, will your bookplate be next?
