Italian Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries: Gallery 1 1939

This architectural drawing by Eggers and Higgins, Architects, from 1939, depicts two perspectives of a gallery space designed to showcase Italian art from the 14th and 15th centuries. The left side shows a detailed plan of the space, featuring a single window and a small figure of a person standing in front of it. The right side presents an elevation of the gallery space, showcasing its architectural details, including a doorway and surrounding moldings. This drawing, likely part of a larger set of design plans, provides insights into the meticulous planning and careful consideration given to the display of these important artworks. The drawing exemplifies the architectural style of the late 1930s, characterized by clean lines and a focus on functionality and aesthetics.
