Лот 131 | Antonio Maria Zanetti (1706-1778)
[ZANETTI, Antonio Maria, the younger (1706-1778)]. Delle Antiche Statue Greche e Romane che nell'Antisala della Libreria di San Marco, e in altri luoghi pubblici di Venezia si trovano. Venice: 1740-1743.

A very fine, fresh copy of a sumptuously illustrated account of the classical sculpture conserved in Venetian public collections. It focusses particularly on the statues in the Marcian Library, Venice, of which Antonio Maria the younger was librarian. The younger Zanetti collaborated on this work with his elder cousin, Antonio Maria Zanetti (1679-1767), the Venetian engraver, connoisseur, and a collector of engraved gems. ‘This work marks an important stage in the development of neo-classical taste in Venice’ (Blackmer). Morazzoni 262; Berlin Kat. 4208; Blackmer 1868; Cicognara 3565.

2 volumes, folio (502 x 370mm). Titles printed in red and black and within a fine engraved border, engraved frontispiece, portrait and 100 engraved plates, each page of text within a fine engraved border and containing numismatic and other illustrations. Contemporary Italian gold-tooled mottled calf, edges gilt. Provenance: H. Tronchin (bookplate) – Bessinge (booklabel) – Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow (booklabel; acquired from Bernard Quaritch, 1981 and sold Christie’s NY, 20 June, 2013, lot 759).
