Dipingere il taglio dei libri (in inglese fore-edge panting) consiste nel decorare il taglio, ossia la parte del libro in cui si vedono i fogli. Tre sono i tagli: quello superiore, chiamato anche di testa, quello inferiore o piede e quello laterale, ossia il taglio davanti, che è quello destinato alla tecnica del fore-edge painting. |

| Reference: Taglio (libri) Reference information: Il “taglio” è la superficie del fascicolo dei fogli visibile a libro chiuso, ovvero la parte del libro non fissata con la rilegatura. Distinguiamo quindi tre tagli: Superiore o di testa Davanti o concavo Inferiore o piede Attualmente i tagli sono al naturale, ma nel passato venivano colorati, decorati in oro o cesellati per distinguere i libri religiosi o di valore http://www.sigmastudio.it/stile/introduzione/definizioni-e-t... https://www.webnauta.it/wordpress/le-parti-del-libro/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2019-10-08 10:29:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.sblo.it/sblo/index.php/nuovo-alias -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2019-10-08 10:29:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.lefiguredeilibri.com/2014/05/12/le-parti-del-libr... |

| Reference: (upper, middle, lower) tier Reference information: I believe this is the term you are looking for, which identifies the different 'levels' the composition of a fresco is organized. Have a look at these results from a volume titled Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello https://tinyurl.com/y5c5fxvy HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-10-08 10:43:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here are other examples from The Place of Narrative: Mural Decoration in Italian Churches, 431-1600 https://tinyurl.com/y6t6cmrv -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-10-08 10:53:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi The excerpts you've posted all seem to be referring to paintings (esp. your Further Examples addition). Is this perhaps a representation of a painting in a book, hence the use of the art-specific vocab? Mind you, in newspaper-speak we do use 'taglio alto, taglio basso' to describe the positioning of an article in the newspaper 'grid', according to their importance. An example here https://tinyurl.com/y2439dpd As you can see, 'taglio' always describes a 'level'/'row'... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-10-08 12:25:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you want to further explore book layouts and how the grids are divided and organized, you may want to check out the rule of thirds, as explained in this article, https://tinyurl.com/yys82ca8 and the canons of page construction ( https://tinyurl.com/yxrd27b9 ). There's also a Wikipedia page about this. Happy reading! |
