Die Kunst des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts in Deutschland und den Niederlanden

Philippi, Adolf, 1843-1918 · 1898 · Leipzig : E.A. Seemann · 33 pictures

A 1898 art-historical survey published in Leipzig by E.A. Seemann, written by Adolf Philippi for German-language readers, covering German and Netherlandish painting and printmaking of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The pictures are halftone reproductions of altarpieces, panel paintings and woodcuts, showing religious scenes with architectural settings, robed figures and donors. A designer could take from them the compositional habits of Northern Renaissance devotional art, such as arched frames, canopies, and tight groupings within interiors.
