Über das landschaftliche relief bei den Griechen
A 1919 German scholarly study by Rudolf Pagenstecher, published in Heidelberg by C. Winter, examining landscape relief in Greek sculpture for an academic readership of archaeologists and art historians. The pictures are photographs and line drawings of ancient Greek and Roman reliefs and carved heads, with captions in German citing museum holdings such as the Berlin Antiquarium. A designer could take from them the compositional logic of layered planes and framed scenes, with figures set against stylised rocky or vegetal backgrounds.
