Rome, de l'ère des catacombes à l'avènement de Jules II

Bertaux, Émile, 1869-1917 · 1916 · Paris : H. Laurens · 5 pictures

Rome, from the Catacomb era to the accession of Julius II, is a 1916 Paris art-history survey by the French scholar Émile Bertaux, published by H. Laurens for readers of art and Christian iconography. Its plates reproduce Roman frescoes and mosaics in black and white, showing saints, biblical scenes and a papal portrait with the carved detail and figure grouping of Renaissance painting, useful to designers for tight, stately compositions in grisaille.
