S. Marco, convento dei Padri predicatori in Firenze

Marchese, Vincenzo Fortunato · 1853 · Firenze, Presso la Società artistica · 10 pictures

A Florentine illustrated study of the Dominican convent of San Marco, published in 1853 by Vincenzo Fortunato Marchese for a general audience of art and history readers, reproducing the frescoes of Fra Angelico. The plates are fine tonal engravings of arched and semicircular compositions, with robed saints, kneeling figures and architectural framing that a designer could use for classical religious line work, arch-shaped frames and restrained monochrome layouts.
