Descrizione:

The studies of the Renaissance Humanists flowed into numerous treatises on naval art that saw the light of day during the 17th and 18th centuries. Starting from mythological iconography, scholars and artists proposed nautical solutions - especially on the ergonomics of rowing - that were sometimes fanciful and difficult to apply. Etching pasted on cardboard depicting various studies and sections of trireme.
