The painters of the school of Seville
A 1911 London and New York art history survey, The Painters of the School of Seville, written by Narciso Sentenach y Cabañas and translated by Beatrice Erskine for general readers of painting. The plates are halftone reproductions of Sevillian religious canvases, mostly Murillo and Valdés Leal, showing saints, the Immaculate Conception and deathbed scenes with angels and clouds. A designer might take their dramatic chiaroscuro, drifting cloud-borne figures and crowded putti as compositional references for devotional or baroque-style work.
