Edith Wharton, Italian Backgrounds, pp. 164–6.
Although rather flowery and subjective, quotations from this description of the chapel might come in handy. (Remembering, of course, that it had only been partially restored at the time.) I like her description of the decoration of cupola as ‘[scales] overlapping each other like the breast plumage of a pigeon’, for instance.
Beltrami’s article for the V&A
As well as much more text to be harvested, this includes a number of illustrations which are presumably out of copyright. The frontispiece is a useful drawing of the chapel, if not from the best angle. The chapter on the Cappella Portinari includes a plan of Sant’Eustorgio, showing the chapel’s location within the complex, as well as other drawings, some of which might be used.
