Pitture Tarquiniensi (1831)

Pitture Tarquiniensi is a book written by Odoardo Gerhard and published in 1831. The book is a collection of illustrations and descriptions of the frescoes found in the tombs of Tarquinia, an ancient Etruscan city in Italy. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing a brief history of the Etruscan civilization and the tombs of Tarquinia. The second part of the book contains detailed descriptions of each of the tombs, including the layout, the paintings, and the artifacts found within. The final part of the book includes a series of illustrations of the frescoes, which are considered to be some of the finest examples of Etruscan art. The book provides a valuable insight into the art and culture of the Etruscan civilization and is still considered an important reference for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
