Peter Vischer et la sculpture franconienne du XIVe au XVIe siècle
This is a 1909 French art-historical monograph by Louis Réau, published in Paris by Plon-Nourrit, on Peter Vischer and Franconian sculpture from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, aimed at scholars and collectors. Its plates photograph German late-Gothic wood and stone altarpieces, epitaphs and tomb monuments in churches of Nuremberg, Bamberg, Rothenburg and Wittenberg. The images show carved saints, tiered Gothic canopies, relief narratives and heraldic shields, offering designers examples of dense ornamental framing and sculpted architectural detail.
