Published circa 1739, this print depicts the section and profile view of an exterior window of the Laurentian Library, designed and built by Michelangelo between 1525 and 1562. The Laurentian Library was one of Michelangelo's most influential designs, pioneering the Mannerist style of architecture.
The plate is from "La Librera Mediceo-Laurenziana Architetture Di Michelagnolo Buonarruoti", designed and illustrated by Giuseppe Ignazio Rossi, and engraved by Bernardo Sgrilli. It is in excellent condition.
Giuseppe Ignazio Rossi (1696-1731), also known by the surname Delrosso (as signed in the plates), was a Florentine architect.
