Blätter für Gemäldekunde
Blätter für Gemäldekunde is a painting-studies periodical edited by Theodor von Frimmel, published in Vienna in 1904 for scholars and collectors of old master pictures. Its plates are halftone reproductions of paintings, including a half-length portrait of a woman in a feathered hat, a multi-panel altarpiece with a nativity scene, a devotional head study captioned as a follower of Correggio, and a bearded man with a book. A designer might take from them the dark, low-key tonal contrast and the reserved, shadowy portraiture typical of Renaissance and Baroque painting.
