Miscellaneen aus drei Jahrhunderten spanischen Kunstlebens
Miscellaneous essays on three centuries of Spanish art life by art historian Carl Justi, published in Berlin by G. Grote in 1908, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings. The plates are reproductions of paintings and one portrait print, mostly shown as halftone photographs on plain white pages with German captions. A designer might take from them the dark, crowded compositions of religious scenes, with figures grouped around a central bed or altar and strong chiaroscuro lighting, plus the sober close-cropped portrait with a plain white collar.
