Post-medieval: Architectural sculpture, fresco painting Object Notes: Erected in 342 by Costanza, daughter or niece of Constantine on the site of the catacombs holding the remains of S. Agnese. Marble staircase dates from 1590. 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.
