Santa Maria di Donna Regina e l'arte senese a Napoli nel secolo XIV

Bertaux, Emile, 1869-1917 · 1899 · Napoli : F. Giannini · 17 pictures

A 1899 Naples publication by Emile Bertaux on the church of Santa Maria Donnaregina and Sienese art in fourteenth-century Naples, illustrated with photographic plates of its frescoes. The plates show Gothic church wall paintings in grey halftone, with arched bays holding framed narrative scenes and dense decorative borders. A designer might take from them the layout of stacked painted panels, arcade framing, and ornamental border bands typical of trecento church decoration.
