MDID/Images for Teaching at Lewis & Clark College

The Library’s digital image collection contains a growing number of high-resolution digital images that can be accessed through MDID (Madison Digital Image Database) for classroom presentation and student study reviews. Collection highlights include 19th century European painting, Medieval and Renaissance architecture, and Ancient Greek sculpture. An especially interesting set for art, historical and cultural studies is Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s fresco “Allegories of Good and Bad Government and the Effects of Good and Bad Government.” There are 27 details available of this 1338 fresco located in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, Italy.
