Die Christliche Kunst

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Christliche Kunst, Gesellschaft für christlische Kunst, G.m.b.H · 1904 · München, Gesellschaft für christliche Kunst Kunstverlag · 32 pictures

Die Christliche Kunst is a German illustrated survey of Christian art published in Munich in 1904 by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Christliche Kunst, aimed at art lovers and students of religious painting and sculpture. Its plates show medieval and early modern altarpieces, a carved tomb with kneeling mourners, a Madonna with child, and a saint's vision in a painted panel, with dense monochrome tones and crowded figure groups that suggest strong compositional blocking for designers studying historic devotional imagery.
