Genua
Genua, a 1906 Leipzig art-historical volume by Wilhelm Suida, published by Seemann and drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings, surveys the architecture and sculpture of Genoa. The pictures show carved church interiors, a sculpted altar with figures in niches, and ornate stone portals with carved reliefs and inscribed lintels. A designer could take from them the decorative vocabulary of Renaissance carved doorways, with its scrolling foliage borders, pediments and framed tablets.
