Notes: Jonathan Richardson the Elder (1665–1745) and his son, Jonathan Richardson the Younger (1694–1771), were renowned specialists in Italian painting. Their description was published in 1722, based on notes taken by the son during a trip to Italy. The father had already published two essays in 1715 and 1719.
