Summary:

Antiquarians in the 17th and 18th centuries often compiled their knowledge in figurative books of antiquities, like 'paper museums', that displayed a significant number of classical works. These images sparked the flourishing of classical taste and neoclassical style in the 18th century, as well as the beginnings of art historiography. This exhibition reveals the richness of these collections of drawings and engravings.
