The early northern painters : studies in the National Gallery
A 1922 Medici Society study by Gertrude Katherine Peers surveying early Netherlandish and German paintings in London's National Gallery, written for gallery visitors and students of art history. The 26 halftone plates reproduce altarpieces and donor portraits in soft grey tones: enthroned Virgins under Gothic canopies, kneeling patrons flanked by bishops, brocade robes, crosiers, and small dogs in ruined architecture.
