Petite collection d'art Gowans: Les chefs-d'oeuvre du Corrège
A small French art-series volume from 1908, part of the Gowans collection, reproducing the works of Correggio for a general art-reading public. The four photographs show oval-framed details of putti painted in soft, sfumato modelling, with one child shown in a three-quarter turn and another gazing upward past a companion. A designer might take the oval vignette format and the tonal, misty handling of flesh and background as a model for soft, rounded figure compositions.
