Studien zur Geschichte der spanischen Plastik : Juan Martínez Montañes, Alonso Cano, Pedro de Mena, Francisco Zarcillo
A 1900 German art-historical study by Berthold Haendcke, published in Strassburg, on Spanish sculpture of the 17th and 18th centuries, covering Martínez Montañés, Alonso Cano, Pedro de Mena and Francisco Salzillo for a scholarly readership. The four plates are black-and-white photographs of polychrome wooden religious statues shot against dark backgrounds, showing draped robes, pale carved faces, and a crown of rays, a skull, a rope and a wounded torso. A designer might take from them the dramatic chiaroscuro and the fall of heavy cloth folds on devotional figures.
