San Francesco d'Assisi nell'arte e nella storia lucchese
Carlo Paladini's 1901 Florentine study San Francesco d'Assisi nell'arte e nella storia lucchese, published by Rassegna nazionale, examines how Saint Francis appears in art and history in Lucca for an art-historical readership. The first picture shows the Gothic facade of the Church of San Francesco in Lucca, its striped marble front and central portal seen across an empty street. The second is a red-toned frontispiece with a standing saint in a gabled panel, a useful reference for arched frames and ecclesiastical stained-glass or altarpiece composition.
