Die ausdrucksbewegung des schmerzens in der christlichen kunst bis zum ausgang der renaissance
A 1921 German art-historical study by Laura Morgenstern, published in Strassburg by J. H. E. Heitz, on expressions of pain in Christian art up to the end of the Renaissance, written for scholars of religious painting. The plates are black-and-white reproductions of altarpieces and devotional paintings, showing crowded figure groups, draped robes and dramatic gestures of grief; a designer could draw on their dense compositions and strong chiaroscuro for figure arrangement and emotional staging.
