Orient oder Rom : Beitrage zur Geschichte der Spatantiken und Fruhchristlichen Kunst
Strzygowski's 1901 scholarly study Orient oder Rom, published in Leipzig by J.C. Hinrichs, examines late antique and early Christian art for specialist art historians. Its photographs and drawings show carved reliefs and sculpted fragments, including a row of standing draped figures, weathered acanthus and vine foliage, a shell motif between arched architectural bands, and a drawn frieze of small arched niches with figures. A designer might draw on the layered, worn stone textures and the repeated arcade and niche rhythms.
