Baumstilisierungen in der mittelalterlichen malerei

Brinckmann, A. E. (Albert Erich), 1881-1958 · 1906 · Strassburg, J. H. E. Heitz · 9 pictures

A 1906 German art-historical study by Albert Erich Brinckmann, published in Strassburg by J. H. E. Heitz, cataloguing how medieval painters stylised trees and plants for scholars of art history. The plates are numbered line drawings of tree forms, leaves, palm fronds and sprigs, each labelled with a figure number inside a framed panel. A designer could draw on them for stylised botanical motifs, with stiff, schematic branching and simplified foliage clusters that read clearly at small sizes.
