Lazio Roma Vicovaro S. Giacomo9. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Post-medieval: Architecture, architectural sculpture, painting, tabernacle, sculpture. S. Giacomo was started in 1454 by Domenico di Capodistria, and the upper registers were probably completed by Giovanni Dalmata in 1465. The structure is of octagonal plan, with elaborate architectural sculpture on the exterior of the building: the portal decoration is particularly rich in detail. To each side of the door are rows of niches with statues of saints. Directly above the door is the dedicatory inscription and in the lunette of the portal is a bas-relief of the Madonna and Child to whom Ss. Peter and James are presenting two members of the Orsini family. In a semi-circle around the lunette are four angels with the dove of the Holy Spirit, which is flanked by two roundels depicting the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel and the Virgin, and surmounting the portal in a triangular pediment are the coat-of-arms of the Orsini family. 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.
