Zwei Jahrhunderte deutscher Malerei : von den Anfängen der deutschen Tafelmalerei im ausgehenden vierzehnten bis zu ihrer Blüte im beginnenden sechzehnten Jahrhundert
A 1916 German art history survey by Curt Glaser, published in Munich by F. Bruckmann, tracing German panel painting from its late fourteenth-century beginnings to its flowering in the early sixteenth century. The four plates reproduce altarpiece-style religious scenes, mostly Madonna and Child compositions with saints, donors and attendants. A designer could draw on their dense arrangements of gold halos, rich layered drapery, and tightly staged architectural settings with arches and columns.
