Münchener Kunst in fünfzig farbigen Reproduktionen
A 1906 Leipzig art volume by Fritz von Ostini, reproducing fifty colour plates of paintings by Munich painters of its day. The pictures are rotated on the scans, and they show rural figures in fields, a village under a grey sky, a snowy riverbank, and a seated figure by a leaded window. A designer could take loose, textured brushwork and muted earth tones from them, with the painted surfaces showing how palette knife and dry brush build up a scene.
