Il castello di Malpaga e le sue pitture

Fumagalli, Carlo · 1894 · Milano, Calzolari · 32 pictures

Il castello di Malpaga e le sue pitture is a late nineteenth-century Italian photographic plate book published in Milan in 1894 by Carlo Fumagalli, documenting the frescoes of the Malpaga castle for students of architecture and art. The plates reproduce wall paintings of castle courtyards, battle scenes and interiors, most rotated or cropped, with captions in Italian. A designer might take from them the crenellated towers, armoured horsemen and tiled fireplaces of a fifteenth-century Lombard palace.
