Siena

Chłedowski, Kazimierz, 1843-1920 · 1918 · Berlin : B. Cassirer · 36 pictures

Siena is an art book by Kazimierz Chłedowski, published in Berlin by B. Cassirer in 1918, presenting Sienese and Tuscan painting and sculpture through photographic plates for art readers. The plates show a relief pulpit panel, a Madonna with saints altarpiece, a Visitation-style scene with kneeling figures before a ruined arch, and a Pisan Last Judgment-type fresco of crowded robed figures, giving a designer dense, gilded-ground compositions and symmetrical arrangements of standing saints.
