La pittura lombarda nel secolo XIX
A Milan-published 1900 survey of nineteenth-century Lombard painting, drawn from Getty Research Institute holdings and printed as plates of individual canvases. The pictures are halftone reproductions of genre scenes, a dark nocturnal figure study and a dramatic group composition, with captions naming the artists and works. A designer could take from them the tonal range of late nineteenth-century Italian realist painting, with dense shadow, soft light falling on figures, and interior scenes of working life.
