This is a classical resource text which duplicates several editions in different languages from the 17th until the 18th century and reviews publications from this century. This is at the same time the most well known and the most widespread iconographic “code” of terms used by painters, sculptors and poets until the end of the 19th century. The book is an abundant historical documentation of the influence which artists had on the art public.
