Italian painters : critical studies of their works
Italian Painters: Critical Studies of Their Works is an 1892 London art-history volume by the critic Giovanni Morelli, published by John Murray, aimed at scholars and collectors of Italian painting. Its plates are photo-reproductions of paintings and drawings held in museums at Rome, Munich and Dresden. Sepia and red-chalk tones show nudes, a Madonna-like head with elaborate hair, and a pastoral group of Adam and Eve, offering designers classical figure poses, tonal sketch shading and dense Renaissance draperies.
