Vincenzo Foppa of Brescia, founder of the Lombard school, his life ...

POSTSCRIPT
While the last proofs of this book were passing through the press, news reached us
from Brescia of the discovery of an interesting cycle of fifteenth century frescoes in a
small church known as " La Disciplina" at Remedello Sopra. For details we refer our
readers to an article in // Cittadino di Brescia of September 26, 1908, by Don Paolo
Guerrini,' to whom the discovery is due, and who states that they are good works of the
school of Foppa. The Communal Archives at Remedello are said to contain a great
number of documents which may elucidate the subject, and the task of examining them
has been entrusted to the writer of the article, who, as already stated, is the Keeper of
the Episcopal Archives at Brescia. Interesting results may therefore be expected, and
it is possible that some additional light may be thrown upon the life and work of
Vincenzo Foppa and upon the history of his school, which would tend to confirm what
has been said in the Introduction to this book, with regard to the desirability and
necessity of combining documentary research with assthetic criticism.
