1870 Lithograph Italy Church Religious Paintings Giotto - ORIGINAL ARCH

This is an original 1870 lithograph that shows some examples of Italian church paintings including: The Chastity of S. Francis, The Sacrament of Matrimony, Madonna in S. Croce at Florence, Christ as a Child Teaching in the Temple, Ascension of S. Francis, Miracle of S. Francis, and Joachim and AnnaÐÐall by Giotto; Birth of Mary by Taddeo Gaddi; and The Crucifixion by Niccola di Pietro.

This lithograph is from a collection detailing the history and beauty of architecture from prehistoric times through the 1800s. Due to the heavy stock of the paper, the original plate emboss can still be viewed in the margins of most lithographsÑa rare and highly desirable feature of this art. Our digital capture process enhances the visibility and tone of the foxing; however, in the original pieces the foxing, especially along the edges, is less pronounced. Virtually all foxing is restricted to the outermost margin and would be eliminated when framed.
