"...fatta in Praga 1774". Po stopách boloňského scénografa Franceska Orlandiho v Praze

The list of artists responsible for the ornamentation of the theatre in Kotce from 1781 features one Italian - Francesco Orlandi, who is represented by a large folder. The article is about two drawings, dated 1774, which originated in Prague. Both come from the scenography collection of the Ventian Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Its author is also attributed with other drawing studies from the fond of the Accademia Clementina in the Bolognese Academy of Fine Arts. Pavel Preiss questions the attribution of these drawings to Carlo Bibiena and considers the possible authorship of Francesco Orlandi, who lived in Prague in 1774.
