Botticelli : mit 91 Äbbildungen nach Gemälden und Zeichnungen
An art monograph on the painter Sandro Botticelli, written by Ernst Steinmann and published in Bielefeld by Velhagen & Klasing in 1903 for readers of art history. Its plates reproduce paintings and drawings, mostly Madonnas, sacred groups and figure studies in soft tonal half-tone. A designer can take from them the Renaissance vocabulary of drapery folds, flowing hair, halo circles and tight oval compositions.
