Verona
Verona is an early twentieth-century art book by Georg Biermann, published in Leipzig by E. A. Seemann in 1904, presenting the city's painting, sculpture and architecture for art-historical readers. The four pictures show a Renaissance altarpiece with saints and a Madonna and Child, a framed panel with columns and a central enthroned Virgin, a Gothic lunette fresco of the Crucifixion with mounted figures, and a carved Gothic tomb canopy set against a townscape; a designer could take the tight arched framing, gilded column ornament and dense crowded compositions as reference for formal structure.
