DESCRIPTION: Plate 22 from de Rossi's "Studio d'Architettura Civile sopra gli ornamenti di Porte Finestre tratti de alcube Fabbriche insigni de Roma…." This publication was published under auspices of Pope Clement XI. Domenico de Rossi (1659–1730) was an Italian sculptor and engraver. In 1709, Domenico inherited the print shop of Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi, the largest and most long-lived publisher of the Roman baroque. Several generations of the de' Rossis participated in the family publishing firm established in the 17th century. De Rossi published three folio volumes of architectural engravings of elevations and frontal views of Baroque palazzi and churches in Rome, which included among them some unexecuted designs of Bernini and Borromini. The volumes were titled "Studio d'architettura civile di Roma 1702, 1711, and 1721”. The first volume illustrated a wide variety of designs of windows, doors and gates, porticoes and porches, chimney pieces and stairs, and was dedicated to Pope Clement XI. It was engraved for de Rossi by a team of talented engravers: Alessandro Specchi, Filippo Vasoni, Carlo Fontana, Vinzendo Francischini, and others.
