Handbook of painting. The Italian schools. Based on the handbook of Kugler

Eastlake, Charles Lock, Sir, 1793-1865, Layard, Austen Henry, 1817-1894, Kugler, Franz, 1808-1858 · 1887 · London: J. Murray · 36 pictures

A revised 1887 London edition of Eastlake's handbook of Italian painting, edited by Layard from Kugler's original, aimed at students and art readers. The four plates are rotated line engravings after frescoes and panel paintings, showing crowded processional and battle compositions with architectural settings, drawn with clean outlines and little shading, useful to a designer studying figure grouping, classical architecture, and monochrome narrative layout.
