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

By this Figure divided into four Parts, you will at first Sight perceive the Method I observ’d in beginning the Perspective Design of this Church of S. Ignatius. The first Part shews the right-hand Side of the Vault between the Door and the Cupola. The second contains the Plan of the same Vault, with its Arches and Lunettes. The third Part represents the same right-hand Side, to the top of the Windows; where begins the Architecture painted in the Vault. The fourth Part contains the Geometrical Plan of that part of the Vault which is painted; with the Lunettes made by the Arches above the Heads of the aforesaid Windows. The Disposition of the painted Architecture above, is the same with that of the Nave of the Church; save that, answerable to the Pilasters below, I have suppos’d Columns projecting over the Work.
