Studies in Florentine painting, the fourteenth century
Richard Offner's 1927 art-historical study of fourteenth-century Florentine painting, published in New York by F. F. Sherman for scholars and students of Italian art. The plates are black-and-white photographic reproductions of altarpieces, panels and frescoes, with captions identifying each work and its location. A designer could draw on their gilded haloes, pointed Gothic arches and devotional compositions of the Madonna and saints for period-accurate religious motifs.
