The polychrome terracotta and stone façade of the Oratorio di San Bernardino in Perugia — one of the masterpieces of Agostino di Duccio, completed in 1461 — fills the frame of this early 20th-century black-and-white postcard, its arched lunette crowded with angels, saints in niches, and bas-relief narrative panels, surmounted by a classical pediment bearing the Latin inscription AVGVSTA PERVSIA. The iron fence in the foreground and the unpaved street betray the pre-automobile character of the city, while the image's strong tonal contrasts capture the sculptural richness of Agostino's low-relief work in remarkable detail for a period photograph. Published by T. De Carolis & C. of Perugia with the notation Proprietà riservata (copyright reserved), this is a high-quality regional issue on glossy photographic stock.
