I suppose you are talking about Florence without saying so. The last set of panels for the Baptistry doors, the Doors of Paradise, are the most valuable ones. They have recently been exchanged for copies and the originals are displayed in the museum "Opera del Duomo", where they are well guarded. An extra bonus is that visitors can watch them at close range there.
The following is copied from a chat site:you might start with the obvious contradictionsbright, cheerful comic book colors vs. the dark, depressing themethe artificiality of the design vs. the emotions with which we imbue tears and sadnessCheapness of soap opera sentimentality vs the seriousness (or anti-seriousness) of art
Jean-Albert Carlotti (1909-2002) is best known as a painter, but he has also been active as an illustrator for the press. Born in Lyon, he started out illustrating novels for magazines like Marius and Le Hérisson in 1932. In 1950, he began a collaboration with the newspaper France-Soir, and became one of the main illustrators for the vertical strips 'Amours Célèbres' and 'Le Crime ne Paie pas', which were written by Paul Gordeaux and Robert Mallat. In 1974, he joined the Opera Mundi agency and illustrated 'Destins Hors Série', based on the work by Anne and Serge Golon.
