Note 1 — WHERE ARE WE IN ART?

Reading edition

The Middle Age Italian, with its inlaid and decorated façades and wealth of columns, and traceries of gay-coloured stones, and contrasts of brilliant light and dark shadows in the deep-set windows and doors,—bright and lovely like Giotto's Campanile at Florence, rising like a flower over the city, or great churches like those of Orvieto and St. Mark's,1 with their rich profusion of mosaic and carved stone and quaint modifications of brickwork.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
