Tintoretto
A 1911 London art monograph by Evelyn March Phillipps on the Venetian painter Tintoretto, illustrated with halftone reproductions of his religious paintings for an art-literate readership. The three pictures show a crucifixion crowded with figures, a candlelit supper scene with a glowing angel, and a solitary robed figure beside a dark river under twisted trees. A designer might take their dramatic chiaroscuro, dense crowd compositions, and smoky, dark-edged light.
