Pasquale Nerino Ferri and Igino Benvenuto Supino at the Florentine Galleries. Photographic Documentation between Archives, Museum Management and Historical-Artistic Studies

Abstract

This paper explores the research methodology adopted by Pasquale Nerino Ferri and Igino Benvenuto Supino, art historians and Florentine Superintendence officials in the last quarter of the Nineteenth century. A specific focus will be devoted to the use of photographic reproductions of works of art in the museum management and administration, and for historical-artistic studies.
