Geschiedenis der Antwerpsche schilderschool

Rooses, Max, 1839-1914 · 1879 · Gent, Ad. Hoste · 17 pictures

A history of the Antwerp school of painting by Max Rooses, published in Ghent by Ad. Hoste in 1879 for readers of art history and Flemish painting. Its pictures are black-and-white reproductions of old master paintings, mostly rotated on the page, showing crowded interiors, a candlelit half-length study, a group portrait of armoured men, and a dramatic Descent from the Cross with draped figures and a ladder, offering designers strong examples of baroque composition and chiaroscuro.

Painting, Flemish
