Church Architecture and Art

Black and white photographs of medieval and post-medieval church interior details, highlighting sculptures, mosaics, and wall paintings.

Umbria Perugia Pale Parrocchiale. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Medieval: Sculpture. Polychromed wooden statue of the Madonna and Child; a work of the Umbrian school from the first half of the 14th century. Post-medieval: Architecture, sculpture, painting. In a side altar is placed a painting of the Madonna and Child with saints, dated to 1584 and signed by Felice Damiani. Object Notes: 2 sets of prints: the earliest set does not have negatives, but the prints in both sets are almost identical. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and mo
