About this work

Description

The original print by Mitelli has verses below: Son moderno Architetto: e questa mano Sdegna di lavorar su l'anticaglie. Ma già tentai testificarlo in vano: Parlan del mio lavor sin le muraglie (I am a modern architect, and this hand [of mine] disdains to work on old stuff. But now I tried to attest this in vain: they speak of my work up to the walls [i.e. as being only concerned with masonry?])
