The painters of the school of Ferrara
Edmund G. Gardner's 1911 art-historical survey The Painters of the School of Ferrara, published in London by Duckworth and Co. and New York by C. Scribner's Sons, presents reproductions of Renaissance paintings for readers of Italian art. The plates are black-and-white halftones of altarpieces and devotional panels, many rotated on the page, showing Madonnas with saints and attendants, a Christ scene with angels, and a dark mythic landscape with a figure and a crescent moon. Designers can draw on their architecturalframing, gilded-style arched niches, and dense crowded compositions.
