Arte e artisti toscani dal 1850 ad oggi
Arte e artisti toscani dal 1850 ad oggi is an 1902 Italian art history survey by Anna Franchi, published in Florence by Fratelli Alinari, covering Tuscan painters from 1850 onward, including the Macchiaioli. The four plates are halftone reproductions of pencil and charcoal portraits and sketches of seated and reclining sitters, shown in soft tonal shading with loose contours. A designer could draw on their quiet, unposed figure studies and the sketchy handling of light and shadow for portrait-based or muted editorial work.
