| Abstract: | The thesis broadsheet of Giovanni Francesco Rota, commissioned on the occasion of his philosophy defense at the Dominican college attached to S. Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, is from an iconographic standpoint the most elaborate and ambitious invention that Melchiorre Cafà ever devised (Fig. 167). It is an imposing engraving over three-quarters of a meter high and with its arcane subject matter and its striking pictorial illusionism it demands of us a concentrated reading that takes into account the richness of its visual language. |
