Ruins of a Basilica (?) from the series 'Ruinarum variarum fabricarum delineationes pictoribus caeterisque id genus artificibus multum utiles' 1554 Lambert Suavius Netherlandish Vertical plate with a side view of the ruins of a basilica (?), likely based on an in situ observation of the structure. 'Ruinarum variarum fabricarum delineationes pictoribus caeterisque id genus artificibus multum utiles' is a print series published by Gerard de Jode, containing depictions of buildings from Classical Antiquity, set in stylized landscapes. The plates in the series can be divided in two groups: seventeen plates are landscape scenes, which contain ruines of identifiable buildings. Fifteen plates stand out from these atmospheric landscapes, and can be identified as close (sometimes reversed) copies after an Italian print series, previously attriputed to the Master G. A. with the Caltrop, and first published in Rome between 1530 and 1550. The prints also depict buildings from Roman Antiquity, ranging from triumphal arches to bath houses, temples and palaces in Italy, France and Spain. Some of the buildings have been artificially reconstructed based on Medieval descriptions, while others are depicted in their ruinous Ruins of a Basilica (?) from the series 'Ruinarum variarum fabricarum delineationes pictoribus caeterisque id genus artificibus multum utiles' 408688
