Antonio Francesco Gori

Speranza

 

Antonio Francesco Gori (1691–1757) started work on the "Museum Florentinum", a comprehensive visual record of the Medici and other collections in Florence of antiquities of all kinds.

 

The project eventually extended to twelve folio volumes, published 1731-1766.

 

Pictured are front and back views of Dei Praestitis Signumex Aere.
