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.
