The work of Hans Memling reproduced in one hundred and ninety-seven illustrations, with a biographical introduction

Memling, Hans, 1430?-1494 · 1913 · New York: Brentano's · 29 pictures

This is a 1913 New York art book of reproductions of Hans Memling's paintings, published by Brentano's with a biographical introduction and drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings. Its plates are black-and-white halftone photographs of altarpieces and devotional panels, showing figures in rich drapery against architectural or landscape settings. A designer could draw on their compositional symmetry, saintly iconography and muted tonal range for historical or period-styled work.

Painting, Dutch
