Catalogo del Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
A 1904 Florentine museum catalogue by Giovanni Poggi for the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, published by Barbèra, documenting sculpture in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. The photographs are rotated gravure-style plates of Renaissance marble reliefs and statues, including Donatello's cantoria with carved panels of dancing putti and a figure of the angel of the Annunciation. A designer might take from them the crowded, shallow relief compositions of festooned panels and the calm drapery of standing figures.
