TWO ANTIQUE PRINTS
France, 18th century
France, 18th century
DESCRIPTION / DESCRIPTION
Two antique prints:
- Vue de Florence prize de Vaga Loggia (from a drawing by Giuseppe Zocchi “View of a part of Florence taken from the Vaga Loggia†published in 1744 within the beautiful collection “Scelta di XXIV Views of the main districts, squares, churches, and palaces of the City of Florence", but it appears reversed as it is an optical view, i.e. an image created to be seen through an optical device consisting of a lens fixed on a pedestal and a mirror mounted behind to the lens; the subject had to be reversed compared to reality, to allow correct vision straightened by the mirror).
