Complete with the large folding plate no. 100 in the first volume (often missing), which depicts the design for the vault of the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Later edition (mixed set) of a seminal work, first published at Rome by Giovanni Komarek in 1693-1700. Pozzo's Perspectiva comprises the most important treatise on perspective of the Later Baroque era, and importantly helped to introduce Roman Baroque syles into Northern Europe. The design for the monumental false dome above the transept of the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola in Rome is depicted on plate number 100. This work was personally commissioned from Pozzo, and is one the most technically complex and visually dazzling examples of anamophic (trompe l'oeil) painting from the era. Though not an aficionado of Late Baroque design, Cicognara still acknowledges that Pozzo's mastery of persective is worthy of praise (la scienza prospettica di cui era doviziosamente fornito). Brief instructions on painting "al fresco," which include notes about color pigments, appear at the end of the second volume. An important early-modern theoretician of perspective, the Jesuit Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709) "mastered painting, architecture, and scenographic techniques with equal skill, extolling the illusory power inherent in spatial imagery in a previously unheard-of way" (DBI).
