L'arte
L'arte is a 1898 art-historical periodical published in Rome by Danesi Editore, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings and filled with black-and-white halftone reproductions of medieval and early Christian works. Its plates show a designer working through the history of ornament and picture-making. The pictures include a fresco-like scene of a seated saint beside a rising figure, a manuscript page with an enthroned figure flanked by angels and a row of attendants, a relief of kneeling men carrying stones, and a stone tomb with draped canopy and carved panels; they suggest framing, figure grouping and sculptural drapery for period-styled work.
