Florence
Florence is an 1894 Paris art survey by Georges Lafenestre and Eugène Richtenberger, published by Quantin, illustrating Florentine painting for French readers of the period. Its plates are halftone-style reproductions of old master paintings, several rotated on the page, with captions naming artists such as Giovanni da Milano, Bellini and Dürer. A designer might take from them the dense, crowded compositions of grief scenes and the dramatic figure groupings of Renaissance religious painting.
