Lazio Roma Rome S. Clemente7. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Medieval: Architecture, sculpture, fresco painting General Notes: Situated about 300 meters from the Coloseum, it takes the name of Pope Clemente, third successor to S. Peter. Although the photos are filed as "medieval", there has been some renovation in the interior dating from the Baroque period, and examples of later painting. 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.
