The paper presents the unpublished study of the tabernacle of San Paolo Maggiore (Bologna, 1647) designed as relief-perspective by Bitonti who partnered Borromini in the gallery of Spada palace in Rome (1653).

Abstract

The paper presents the unpublished study of the tabernacle of San Paolo Maggiore (Bologna, 1647) designed as relief-perspective by Bitonti who partnered Borromini in the gallery of Spada palace in Rome (1653). The perspective drawing, found at Bologna State Archive, depicts an architectural design rather than a furniture as documented by the Bolognese feet graphic scale. Bitonti follows the obliquazione rule of architectural orders settled by Caramuel while the order is the composite, already used by Bitonti in the perspective gallery painted in the Annunciation Church in Bitonto (1631).
