Der anonyme Meister des Poliphilo; eine Studie zur italienischen Buchillustration und zur Antike in der Kunst des Quattrocento
A German art-historical study by Josef Poppelreuter, published by Heitz in Strassburg in 1904, arguing the case for the unnamed designer of the Venetian Hypnerotomachia Poliphili woodcuts and addressed to scholars of Quattrocento printing. The plates reproduce late fifteenth-century Italian line woodcuts—Ovid scenes, Terence stage sets with labelled arcades and curtains, processions, nymphs and rocky landscapes—drawn in even unshaded contour that reduces cleanly to silhouette or single-weight outline.
