Elenco dei quadri dell'Accademia Carrara in Bergamo
A 1912 Bergamo catalogue of paintings held by the Accademia Carrara, printed by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche for art-historical readers and collectors. Its plates are halftone reproductions of Italian Renaissance panels, many showing the Virgin and Child, saints in armour and robes, and formal portrait busts. A designer might take from them the gilded-halo devotional compositions, the tight tonal range of old panel painting, and the stiff frontal poses of sacred figures.
