Catalogo della mostra di belle arti
This is a 1911 exhibition catalogue from the International Fine Arts Exhibition in Rome, published in Bergamo by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche for visitors to the show. Its plates reproduce paintings with captions naming artist and title, including a Naples market scene, a Poynter water-nymph cave, a Fragiacomo evening harbour and an Besnard portrait. The reproductions are small, grey and tonal, offering designers examples of late nineteenth-century academic and symbolist composition, with the Naples crowd and the grotto scene showing dense figure grouping and dramatic light.
