Geschichte der Malerei
Richard Muther's Geschichte der Malerei, published in Berlin by Neufeld & Henius in 1912, is a German-language general history of painting, reproducing works of old master and modern artists in halftone plates. The pictures are black-and-white photographic reproductions of paintings, with dark tonal interiors, peasant processions, a Spanish portrait and a religious altarpiece, so a designer can study composition, figure grouping and dramatic chiaroscuro across centuries.
