Perspective view for the villa and grounds

ca. 1780

- This drawing is one of a group of ten drawings by Andrea Tagliafichi dated ca. 1780 for the Villa Lomellini-Rostan, Pegli, Genoa. The drawings were formerly bound together, as indicated by the stitching at the left edge. The drawings include a perspective view for the villa and grounds which is signed and inscribed by Tagliafichi (DR1987:0248), six plans for the villa (DR1988:0249 - DR1988:0253 and DR1988:0257), and three plans for the "Casa alla Marina" on the grounds (DR1988:0254 - DR1988:0256). The drawings may be record drawings of Tagliafichi's renovations as well as presentation drawings.
