Pittori e miniatori nell'Umbria.

Gnoli, Umberto, 1878-1947 · 1923 · Spoleto, C. Argentieri · 17 pictures

Pittori e miniatori nell'Umbria is a 1923 Spoleto art-history survey by Umberto Gnoli, printed by C. Argentieri, covering painters and manuscript illuminators of Umbria. Its pictures are black-and-white photographic reproductions of altarpieces, fresco cycles and carved panels, with architectural frames and gilt-like ornament reduced to grey tones. A designer might take from them the Renaissance devotional layout of a central enthroned figure flanked by saints under a rounded arch.
