Saint Antoine de Padoue et l'art italien
A scholarly art-history study from 1899 by Conrad de Mandach, published in Paris by H. Laurens, examining depictions of Saint Anthony of Padua in Italian art. The plates reproduce paintings and frescoes in halftone, showing saints in monastic robes, mourners around a dead figure, and a preaching friar framed by architecture. A designer could take from them the grouped compositions of robed figures, the arched niches and classical columns, and the restrained palette of ecclesiastical scenes.
