Roma barocca
Roma barocca is a 1919 art history survey by Antonio Muñoz, published in Milan by Casa editrice d'arte Bestetti & Tumminelli, covering Baroque art in Rome for readers of Italian art. Its plates are black-and-white photographic reproductions of ceiling frescoes, painted allegorical scenes with figures in illusionistic clouds and gilded frames, and a marble statue set in a church niche. A designer might take from them the dense, theatrical staging of figures spilling across ceilings, and the sculpted drapery and gesture of Baroque statuary.
