Bartholomaeus Bruyn und seine Schule : ein kunsthistorische Studie
Bartholomaeus Bruyn und seine Schule is a German art-historical study of the painter Bartholomaeus Bruyn and his workshop, written by Eduard Firmenich-Richartz and published in Leipzig by E.A. Seemann in 1891 for scholars of German painting. Its plates are halftone reproductions of Bruyn's altarpiece panels and portrait drawings, including sitters labelled as Hermann and Christian von Wiedenberg. Designers might take from them the restrained, sober portrait style of sixteenth-century Rhenish painting, with its tight frontal poses, dark backgrounds and detailed costume.
