Pitture a fresco del Camposanto di Pisa

Rossi, Giuseppe, -1842, artist · 1832 · Firenze : Tipografia all'insegna di Dante · 33 pictures

This 1832 Florentine publication by the artist Giuseppe Rossi reproduces the fresco cycle of the Camposanto in Pisa as engravings, with each plate showing a long horizontal wall painting framed by arches and crowded with figures. The plates are useful to a designer for their dense, sequential compositions of processions, arcaded architecture and groups of robed figures, which suggest how a continuous narrative can be staged across a wide format.
