Friedrich der Weise als förderer der kunst
A 1903 art-historical study by Robert Bruck, published in Strassburg by J. H. E. Heitz, about Elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony as a patron of the arts, aimed at scholars of German Renaissance art. The plates reproduce tomb slabs, a devotional painting, ornamental metalwork and a panel of a churchman in an architectural interior, rendered as halftone photographs. A designer might take from them the dense interlaced borders, Gothic lettering, and the carved relief and engraved ornament of the period.
