Catalogue of a collection of paintings, etc. presented by Mrs. Liberty E. Holden to the Cleveland Museum of Art

Cleveland Museum of Art, Rubinstein-Bloch, Stella · 1917 · Cleveland : The Museum · 20 pictures

A 1917 catalogue issued by the Cleveland Museum of Art, compiled by Stella Rubinstein-Bloch, recording paintings presented by Mrs. Liberty E. Holden to the museum. The plates are halftone reproductions of Italian religious panels, mostly Madonnas with the Christ child, each numbered and captioned beneath with the artist's name. A designer could take from them the rigid frontal composition, gold-ground halos, and drapery patterns of early Renaissance devotional painting.
