Geschichte der bildenden Künste
Geschichte der bildenden Künste is a German art history published in Düsseldorf by J. Buddeus in 1843, written by Karl Schnaase, a scholar, for readers of the history of the visual arts. Its pictures are precise black-and-white line engravings of Gothic church architecture: a nave elevation, a window with tracery, a traceried portal and a tower section, drawn with clean outlines and hatched shading that suggest measured construction drawings a designer could study for pointed arches and tracery patterns.
