= Fowler 253 and Kat. Orn. Berlin 4726 (both Augsb. edition 1708-1711); cf. The Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection 103. In teaching perspective, Pozzo used examples of details from his own buildings including unexecuted projects. His ability to synthesize seemingly incompatible sources influenced the next generation of Italian architects. "(...) the crowning glory of the baroque art of illusion, of negating the distinction between the real and the imaginary or theatrical - the world of frescoes and quadratura painting, and of scenography, arts in which Pozzo excelled" (auction cat. Library of the late M.F.d.C., 1995, no. 253). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXI.
