Abruzzo Pescara Penne Madonna del Carmine6. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Post-medieval: fourteen views of baroque exterior, including detail views of main portal and columns. Interior views of nave, altars, cupola, choir, architectural sculpture, paintings, sculpture, and frescoes. 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 monument.
