Projectio ædificii rotundi.

Illustration from Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc. In English and Latin: Containing a most easie and expeditious method to delineate in perspective all designs relating to architecture

Mirifice oculis imponunt imagines rerum rotundarum, si omnibus resectis quæ ad eas non pertinent, exactè delineatæ ac depictæ fuerint. Hanc figuram ex vestigio eruere oportebit methodo consuetâ, eamque in Templo S. Ignatii Collegii Romani construxi pro feriâ V & VI Hebdomadæ sanctioris. Intra arcum, super altari, locus erat urnæ sepulcrali, cum Venerabili Sacramento. Sub altari visebatur simulacrum Christi Domini è Cruce depositi: in medio columnarum, imago Beatæ Virginis dolentis; super balaustiis Angeli lugentes, cum instrumentis cruciatuum Salvatoris.
