Die flämische Malerei des XVII. Jahrhunderts
A 1918 Berlin art-history survey by Rudolf Oldenbourg, published by G. Reimer, reproducing seventeenth-century Flemish and Dutch paintings in halftone plates for a scholarly German readership. The plates show Baroque figure compositions in dense groups, with strong diagonals, dramatic light falling on muscular bodies, and crowded tavern or pastoral scenes that a designer could draw on for sweeping motion and chiaroscuro.
