Musée Correr de la ville de Venise : catalogue 1927.
A 1927 catalogue of the Museo Correr, the civic museum of Venice, published by Zanetti in Venice for visitors and students of its collection. The plates are halftone reproductions of paintings and sculpture: a devotional panel with a crucifixion scene in an ornate frame, a seated woman in dark dress, a carved memorial tablet with a standing saint, and a profile portrait of an older man in a jewelled headdress. A designer could take from them the dense ornamental framing of Venetian devotional panels and the dark, low-key tonal range of Renaissance portraiture.
