L'École avignonnaise de peinture
L'École avignonnaise de peinture, a 1904 Paris art-history study by H. Requin published by La Revue de l'art, covering the Gothic painting of Avignon for an audience of art historians and collectors. The plates reproduce panels in grey halftone: a crowned figure among attendants, a walled town with a saint beside a gate, a row of kneeling donors, and an archangel weighing souls over a dragon. A designer might take their flat gold-ground compositions, stacked figures and patterned brocade backgrounds as models for medieval-revival layouts.
