Description
From the series “Li giardini disegnati da Giovanni Battista Falda…nuovamente dati alle stampe con direttione di Giov. Giacomo de Sandrart”, edited by J. Von Sandrart in Nurinberg, around 1685.
The work in based on the original series published in Rome by G. G. de Rossi (I edition after 1677 but before 1683) that consists of 19 plates, of plans and perspective views of the most famous Roman Gardens, 14 etched by G. B. Falda and 5 by Simon Felice.
The plates for the German work was engraved by J. Von Sandrart, with slight differences with respect to De Rossi’s originals, as it’s clear from the comparison we’ve conducted between the two works.
It is surprising, therefore, that often the Sandrart’s series is listed erroniously under the name of Falda as engraver (Bellini wrongly in TIB writes that Sandrart in two cases printed from the original Falda’s plates), or even that the work is considered as another edition of "Li Giardini" published by de Rossi.
Etching, in excellent condition.
Joachim von SANDRART (Francoforte 1606 - Norimberga 1688)

German painter and treatises. Traveled extensively and was the most important German artist of the time but is remembered today almost exclusively for the "Teutsche Academie der Edlen Bau-Bild-und Mahlerey Künste" (German Academy of the noble arts of architecture, sculpture and painting) , published in Nuremberg in 1675-79 and followed by Latin edition in 1683. This treaty, organized into three main sections, is a source of great importance. The first part is an introduction to the art of architecture, painting and sculpture, mainly derived from earlier sources like Vasari and Van Mander. The second part, which contains biographies of artists, uses the same way as material from earlier sources, but also contains new material, especially on German artists and contemporary artists that the author knew personally (including Poussin and Lorrain). The third part contains information on art collections and a survey 'iconography, and finally there is also a chapter on the art of the Far East. Sandrart was the first director (1662) Academy of Nuremberg (the first in Germany).
