Alexandrinische studien

Pagenstecher, Rudolf, 1886-1921 · 1917 · Heidelberg, C. Winter · 4 pictures

Alexandrinische studien is a 1917 scholarly art history monograph by Rudolf Pagenstecher, published in Heidelberg by C. Winter, aimed at specialists in Hellenistic art and Alexandrian antiquities. Its plates show sculpture and relief in photographic halftone, including a standing bronze-like nude figure with raised arm, a dark carved oval profile portrait, and a tomb relief fragment with a seated figure. A designer might take the stark monochrome tonal contrast and the classical nude figure poses as reference for sculptural form and posture.
