64 Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) – Classical Friezes and Molding Profiles with Greek Key and Floral Ornament – Copper Engraving (1778–82)

This architectural engraving by Giocondo Albertolli presents a vertical arrangement of detailed molding profiles, including richly ornamented friezes with acanthus leaves, bead-and-reel motifs, rosettes, and a prominently featured meander (Greek key) design. The plate was created as part of Albertolli’s neoclassical design treatises intended to guide the decoration of palaces and aristocratic interiors in late 18th-century Italy. Each element is meticulously labeled and engraved with precise proportions, serving both decorative and instructional purposes.
Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) was a leading figure in neoclassical architectural ornament. As a professor of design in Milan, he published multiple collections of architectural plates, which were widely used by architects and artisans. His work emphasized classical symmetry, mathematical proportion, and the refinement of antique decorative systems.
