Description

Important and highly decorative plan of Florence by Ferdinando Ruggieri, an Italian Baroque architect of the Florentine school.

This fine plan of 18th-century Florence was the most important plan of Venice in the final years of the Duchy of Medici.

Ferdinando Ruggieri's plan of Florence was first drawn in 1731 and is one of the most important and sought after plans of Florence from the period. In addition to the detailed plan of the City, it includes fine decorative embellishments and demonstrates the extraordinary engraving style which characterizes the highest skill levels of Italian copper plate engraving work of the period.

The plan is quite rare on the market, more normally appearing in 1755 by Bouchard.
