Das Quattrocento in Siena; Studien in der Gemäldegalerie der Akademie

Jacobsen, Emil Itzig Levin, 1849-1914, Pinacoteca nazionale di Siena · 1908 · Strassburg, J.H.E. Heitz · 40 pictures

A 1908 German art-historical study published in Strassburg by J.H.E. Heitz, written by Emil Jacobsen for scholars and students of Italian painting, examining fifteenth-century Sienese panels held in the Siena Academy gallery. The plates are reproductions of gold-ground altarpieces and devotional panels, shown in grey halftone with Tafel numbers and short German captions. A designer could take from them the flat, ornamented compositions of gilded saints, Madonnas and pointed-arch frames typical of the period.
