A cohesive set of three late 18th-century Italian engravings depicting the Temple of Mars the Avenger (Tempio di Marte Ultore), comprising elevation, sectional view, and architectural studies. The plates form part of a structured analytical sequence from Monumenti di Fabbriche Antiche estratti dai disegni dei più celebri autori (OCLC No. 2386334), published in Rome beginning in 1796.

The three plates represent a coordinated study sequence:
– Elevation (Tav. IV) https://www.info.roma.it/roma_sparita_dettaglio.asp?ID_stampa=5216
– Section (Tav. V) https://www.info.roma.it/roma_sparita_dettaglio.asp?ID_stampa=5217
– Architectural details (Tav. VII) https://www.info.roma.it/roma_sparita_dettaglio.asp?ID_stampa=5218 

Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1766–1839) was a Roman draftsman and engraver whose work presents measured studies of ancient monuments derived from earlier architectural sources. These engravings reflect the neoclassical interest in documentation and reconstruction of Roman antiquity. (Not to be confused with the earlier London-based artist of the same name, 1727–1785.)

Each engraving is printed on handmade laid rag paper with visible plate impressions and generous margins. The sheets bear a watermark (“AMG / SERAFINI”), consistent with Italian—likely Fabriano—papermaking of the period.

Framed using archival materials, including 8-ply museum matting, UV-protective acrylic glazing, and conservation mounting. Presented as a unified triptych.  

Frame size: 17.25 × 14.25 inches each
Sight size: 9.5 × 7.5 inches

A refined and historically grounded set, suitable for interior designers, collectors, or anyone seeking a coherent neoclassical architectural wall composition.
