Gotische Formmodel,: eine vergessene Gattung der deutschen Kleinplastik
Gotische Formmodel, published in Berlin in 1918 by G. Grote, is a art-historical study by Wilhelm von Bode and Wolfgang Fritz Volbach on forgotten German medieval small sculpture, aimed at scholars and collectors. The round and rectangular plates show relief scenes in low, crisp casting, with figures in drapery, architectural towers, and ornamental borders, giving designers a clear model for medallion compositions, seal-like framing, and carved relief arrangements.
